I’ve just been to Martha’s Vineyard, where the movie Jaws was filmed. You can see a video of me ’shark hunting’ filed under Dot.Robot. This book, The Swarm is a bit like Jaws, but, as the name suggests, the monsters of the deep in this oceanic thriller move in packs. The book is also a warning, a very convincing projection for a number of ways the natural world might react to what we’re all doing to it. It’s a doorstop of a novel, but it’s an easy and exhilarating read.
