The idea that humans could really just go back to barely surviving because we can’t collectively be a community and then realizing we have to again become a community to again rise out of poverty and all these hellscapes…is a lot. Octavia was a genius and this is definitely a brilliant book but just a hard truth to take.

The writing is engaging, the story devastating, and the whole concept deeply thought provoking.
So much of this story is terrifying and stomach churning and yet ….
Depressingly unsurprising.
Maybe that’s cynical but, or maybe it’s just a shame.
