I really like this book. It felt a lot like the mid-century detached dystopic books. Uno brave new world, JG ballared and that crew. White Noise moments as well.
It is interesting to have your own feelings of climate fatalism sort of pushed in front of you. There were many points I found myself sympathizing and identifying with those suffering from “the Grief”
I like that is wasn’t patient with the reader or soft on me. I like that it makes me feel like I can and ought to do something or I could be a part of the dying world of the novella.
The characters are a little shallow feeling but that’s a novella for you and it actually helps get the point across really well.
