This book was incredible. Sweeping story of finding nonbiological family and the ties that bind us, in a dysphoric future where the earth has been obliterated by climate change and misuse, and other worlds are created and then colonized by capitalism. Really beautiful, highly recommend. The first half seems to be more about the dysphoric world created by the author and traveling through it, and the second half is really about relationships and the love we find and lose, and how worth it these losses are.

I don't think I have the right words to describe how reading this book made me feel. Humbly, it was mindblowingly incredible!

Jimenez spins words like a master magician. I'm just in awe.
