Heavy. The author uses the tenseness after the 2016 election and climate anxiety as a metaphor of sorts for the human condition.

I enjoyed most of the musings within, related to some and found many amusing. However, I don't feel this was as profound as it was described as on the back cover. This feels like a mixture of The Harpy and No One is Talking About This without really reaching the level of either. Maybe I'm just so used to world ending stuff that this no longer feels very fictional.
