The Terraformers by Annalee Newitz

4.0

This was a really fun, wild read in an imaginative world. I could vividly picture it being an animated movie or series, maybe something akin to Paprika or The Boy and the Beast. The three-part model doesn't let you get overly attached to characters but allows you to get a broader view of the development of a world and focus in on particular political moments with very real world implications: closing of the commons, colonization, environmental destruction, feudal/capitalist relations to property and people, displacement and gentrification, etc.
