Late in the climate crisis game Vince the engineer struggles with both internal chaos and the disrupted world all around. Yet knowing he must do what he can for his daughter's future, he pushes past his inner issues to focus on the cultural redesign proposal. Lisi keeps up on gaming to help her father cope, and to feed him insights into what her teenager future needs. All while young adult Wenzel pushes revolutionary edges his last generation so badly needs. And local government plays out with First Minister Courtney coming out politically on the truths about the world's climate crisis. She gives the voting people of British Columbia democratic choices on their lifestyles. No matter what the people of western Canada, or the world do, or don't, nature's latest gift bangs up hard against human delusions with Mother Earth surprising all places around the world with her next global impact event.
-------------------
"Close attention to language, close attention to nature; being realistic, and being serious about the amazing future-shifts that are possible and necessary: these are all great qualities in a writer who aims to chart a possible path, a detailed-imagined scenario of where we could be headed. "Tambora II" shows Les Kuzyk has these qualities".
Professor Rupert Read, editor of Deep Adaptation
"The talent pool should be considerably enlarged (to decide the kind of questions that issue from the climate-industrial complex) It should include systems thinkers and social scientists … it should include writers of imaginative fiction concerning the future."
Deep Adaptation (2021)
------------------------
"There have been many attempts to give us a glimpse of our probable near future. This book takes us through a fascinating and complex story: we follow the activities of a small number of engaging Western Canadian characters through the unfolding crisis caused by climate change. A persistent but fragile hope for future generations is built into the main plot."
Helga Ingeborg Vierich, Anthropologist

"In terms of trying to apply the Keekorok story to humans -- my sardonic suggestion has always been … that we should go and exile all the mean and aggressive males … amid the clock ticking … for half a century, baboons have literally been the textbook example of inevitable primate aggression, and it turns out not to be so inevitable after all; thus, anyone who says humans don't have the behavioral flexibility to transform has a thing or two to learn from baboons..."
a reply from Dr. Robert M Sapolsky, author of "Behave: The Biology of Humans at Our Best and Worst"
