In a future set forty years ahead, Earth's climate has drastically changed due to the greenhouse effect. Tornadoes of almost unimaginable force roam the open spaces of Texas. Following them are the Storm Troupers, a ragtag band of computer experts and atmospheric scientists who live to hack heavy weather, documenting it and spreading the information through digital networks, using virtual reality to explore the eye of the storm. The Troupers' computer models suggest that soon an "F-6" will strike, a tornado of an intensity that exceeds any existing scale, a storm so devastating that it may never stop. And they will be there when all hell breaks loose.
Michael Bruce Sterling is an American science fiction author known for his novels and short fiction and editorship of the Mirrorshades anthology. In particular, he is linked to the cyberpunk subgenre.
