Heavy Weather, by Bruce Sterling

Could not get into this book at all. I had no empathy for the characters, the pacing was just terrible, and what could have been an awesome concept was glossed over in roughly a chapter.

The premise of the book is that in the not-so-distant future, the ecological and meteorological system of the world is completely out of whack as a result of industry and consumerism stripping away the world's resources. Heavy weather is the end result, with huge parts of the United States subjected to weather systems that make present day bad weather seem tame in comparison.

This book could have been really good. Instead, it was a drag from page one. Not even sure why I finished it.
