I received an ARC of this book before it was published and just now finished it, months after it was published
Distressing, heartbreaking, very well written. I felt like, a couple of times, the Point was lain with a bit too heavy of a hand (reiterating something clearly that had just been pointed to in in-text action), but overall, it didn't put me off of the story. Lots of historical evidence was woven into the story, and the climate (social & ecological) are both deeply disturbing in their portrayal of just how close we are to the setting in this book.
Finishing it felt like a kick in the gut. Well done.
The short stories didn't "grab" me in the same way that the novella did, but I also feel like I may not have been the intended audience.
