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

I really enjoyed this book! I wasn’t sure about the stream of consciousness narration at first, but I appreciated how the narrator’s thoughts moved from mundane life to deep and dark thoughts in regards to climate change as the book progressed.
