Sorry to disagree with other readers, but this novel / series is NOT apocalyptic. It deals with climate change - a real issue facing us in our time.
Note the link with the earrlier novel Antarctica, which also features the senator with the outlandish notion that he can serve from other parts of the planet besides Washington D.C.
Once again - we urgently need sub-genre links for environmental SF, and political SF. How could anyone who has read Kim Stanley Robinson, Ursula K. Le Guin or some of the works from Eastern Europe omit political SF, when we have infinite hair-splitting re fantasy topics (precisely how many faeries/angels/demons can dance on the head of a pin???)
