The story is set in a climate-change future in which weather control first produced conflict among nations using it against each other, then was internationalized, and, at the time of the story, has been taken over by hackers.

Dystopia. The story is particularly concerned with genetic engineering. While the people are healthy and have long lives, they live in a world where food animals have been engineered for less fat and more flavor, the trees are dying, being out in the sun is dangerous, and whole areas have been depopulated by viral infections. Those remaining in such areas could not leave and depended on food drops from China. No medical care for any condition that could conceivably be the fault of the person. All the poets had been shot.
