Deeply thought-provoking and often genuinely beautiful, but also very bleak and hard to read, especially in 2025, when its vision of the world seems terrifyingly prescient.

Reading this in 2025, after the Eaton fires and while there are so many unprecedented events in the world that feel apocalyptic was surreal. The way this story used science fiction to highlight injustices that many don’t realize now was amazingly unique to read… especially the privatization of water and the bottled water industry.
