THis book proposes the question, what would you do and how would you live if breathable air was a comedy, something to be bought and sold. Years ago, there was a “switch”, a point where there was too little oxygen in the air to make it breathable. What happened to all the air? The trees and plants were cut down for various reasons such as making farm ground, or building homes, etc. Now most people live in city bubbles where air is tiered. The are rules on how much activity you can do, and instead of just factoring in food and clothes to have a kid, you have to factor in how much air you have. Yes, you have a certain amount that you pay taxes for every month, but if you go over that allotment, then you get a bill. The idea is sound, and with the razing of the Amazon rainforest in Brazil in the last year, the topic is relevant. But I am not sure how sound the science is.There seems to be plenty of water and plenty of food, but not plenty of air. Hummmmm. THe part that is so very true to like beside the destruction of our trees and oxygen producing commodities, was the big businesses that does bad things to keep it’s profit margins up.

Some of this read is very predictable, and some just asinine. It was a quick read and I like most of the characters, just not all of them. I enjoyed this series, and it ends on a cliffhanger, but I am not sure I care enough to read the second book. I have it, but it’s not a priority.
