Este libro analiza el controvertido campo de la geoingeniería como respuesta al cambio climático. Ante el fracaso de las negociaciones internacionales y la perspectiva de un aumento drástico de las temperaturas globales, Clive Hamilton explora las promesas y los riesgos de tecnologías que pretenden enfriar la Tierra, como la pulverización de azufre en la atmósfera o la modificación química de los océanos. A través de una mirada crítica, el autor describe los proyectos de los denominados 'geócratas' —ingenieros y empresarios como Bill Gates— que buscan soluciones tecnológicas para evitar cambiar nuestro modelo de consumo. La obra advierte sobre los peligros de jugar a ser 'aprendices de brujo' con el termostato del planeta sin considerar las consecuencias éticas y ambientales a largo plazo.
