I live in the south of france, and I really need to move to a cooler region in france. Summer are very long, nights are hot, makes it hard to sleep well.
I don't have enough money to install AC. Mobile AC is too noisy.
I have been postponing for 4 years now.
I am reading The Ministry Of The Future, it's a great book. India will be the first to suffer from this.

KSR is a good prose writer but I found The Ministry of the Future to be full of extremely unconvincing scenarios and I don't think you should let it inform your worldview. It's just a story written by someone who does not really know what they're talking about.

Actually it turns out that doing "research" doesn't help much in making long-term predictions about how human societies will react to novel events.
