So I started listening to this on audio while running errands during an end-of-summer heatwave. As I was nearing home, I started having trouble breathing, I was starting to feel woozy, my heart was racing and I was feeling discombobulated and I thought “am I getting overheated?” But nope, just turns out this was one of many times throughout this book that I had to talk myself down from having a panic attack. This book amplifies all feelings of dread about an extreme future and the horrors of the contemporary heat we’re facing. The style of this book also quite surprised me as it was like reading climate change true crime, making for an engaging, immersive and terrifying read.
