A funny yet gripping story by Hank Green (a family of fantastic & moving writers). The story carried inertia: I found myself unable to put it down the further I got into it.
It did a lot of future hinting but taking you down paths that you didn't expect the story to go.
My interpretation of this story contains an overarching theme as well as one that stood out to me. I feel like this story is a critique of fame/power and the grasp that it oft has on us. A quieter tone is, I feel this story may have some to do about climate change, specifically a problem that we all must work on to solve together. These are more speculation that I had toward the end of the book
Even the Acknowledgements made me feel something.
I'm excited to pick up the sequel.
