Solar

Hmm, this book, Solar by Ian McEwan, was recommended by a friend and I did like it. But it was not among the other fiction books that I liked better. That being said, there is some very fun dark humour in there.

External synopsis: Michael Beard is a Nobel Prize-winning physicist whose personal life is unravelling while he becomes involved in an energy project.

A Goodreads reader interpreted Beard as a portrait of humanity's response to climate change. I found that an interesting reading, but did not record the reader's name.
