Reading this novel a little over a decade after its publication certainly makes it feel a bit less hopeful than it may have been at time of publication, given we are far beyond the 2C global warming mark from collective emissions.
Some of the stories of the big green groups not only accepting, but contributing TO the destruction of the planet actively, the dispossession of the ancestral and rightful heirs to spaces of land, and even actively drilling on land for protected endangered species (including Prairie Attwater Chicken that has breeding grounds - or did - right down the road from me here in Galveston). Hopeful projects, as well as an explanation as to the reality of the climate crisis (at least what it was in 2014) and how that inequitably impacts communities already most harmed by capitalism and imperialism.
