Publisher Description
DCZ, written in a multiple narrative style is a work of speculative eco-fiction featuring a London setting, released zoo animals, global control and a mysterious, powerful organisation.
Gaia can and will solve the problem of climate change as opposed to living in the ensuing disaster. And humans are not very important in the scheme of things. They will, like all else, be accounted for in the calculations as a part of a global eco-system. This is a story of reversing and preventing the problem rather than one of living with the dire consequences of it. Except from the human perspective this is a holocaust.

DZC
This book was very difficult for me. I'd rate it higher except for the last, facile, revealing,sentences at the end.
I did an Internet search on the definition of "wicked problem" to refresh my memory. It's pertinent.
There are atrocities revealed near the end of the book and they are treated with horror...and rightly so. Would they be more or less significant than depleted uranium munitions manufactured in Tennessee, more than 2053 nuclear detonations upon or beneath the Earth in order to perfect killing as many people as possible, more than 40 positive feedback events driving Co2 emissions to above 410 ppm for the first time in millions of years, the awakening of methane hydrate deposits in the Lavtev Sea and other parts of the Arctic, the almost complete disappearance of multi-year ice there. Are those horrors comparable to an estimated 200 species of animal and plants per day, more veterans committing suicide(18 to 20 per day)in the US than have been killed in our endless wars, never mind the 7 or 8 children in my wife's pediatric unit who are under watch for suicidal ideation or having made the attempt. Yes... I'm throwing everything at you, and yet there's so much more.
We need a Copernican realization about humanities place in the universe. We need it badly. It's not going to happen. Even if it did, it's creators would undoubtedly be regarded as monsters. Are we less monstrous than them?
