Synopsis

"If history has taught us anything," writes Bruce Wilson, "it is that nothing good comes without the specter of evil lurking nearby." This is the plight of human nature that has caught the imagination of science fiction writers since Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. In an ever-changing world of new and rapidly changing technology, The Weather Machine explores what might happen if a balloon-powered device activated in the atmosphere could alter the weather conditions. Would this creation become a valuable invention for the good of mankind or would such technological sophistication be exploited by the greedy or become a dangerous weapon? Through his characters, Wilson attempts to find a balance between technology and mankind’s status in the universe, providing the reader with a gripping and creative work of science fiction.
