A Prescient Cyberpunk Climate-Thriller of High-Tech Storm Chasers and Category-6 Tornadoes

Set in a greenhouse-ravaged 2031, a nomadic crew of rogue meteorologists, hackers, and survivalists known as the Storm Troupe pursues extreme weather events across the drought-stricken American Great Plains. Outfitted with heavy armored vehicles, Doppler telemetry, and mobile supercomputers, the Troupe tracks atmospheric collapse.

Led by visionary meteorologist Dr. Alex Bersten and funded by elusive hacker Jane Unger, the Troupe pursues the ultimate weather anomaly: an unprecedented, catastrophic F6 tornado. As internal rivalries and corporate saboteurs threaten the group, the Troupe races into the heart of the storm to deploy experimental atmospheric sensors.

Why You’ll Love This Book

Cyberpunk pioneer Bruce Sterling delivers a fast-paced, prescient climate-fiction (cli-fi) techno-thriller blending high-tech storm chasing with ecological commentary. Ideal for fans of Neal Stephenson, William Gibson, and Michael Crichton's State of Fear.
