Super fun quick read that reminded me that the next generation will inevitably hate us because of our complacency and hedonism facing the climate crisis. Oh well, bottoms up!

Read this after it was put on the New York Times 5 best fiction reads of 2020. Definitely not my favorite book, but I get the underlying message. It’s a book that’s asking us to think about our impending doom in relation to global warming if we don’t change anything. Right now in life I just don’t want to go there and think too deeply about the message, isn’t a pandemic enough
