Cold People by Tom Rob Smith

4.0

---

I read this during a snow storm and became aware once again that in case of dystopic world disaster, I’m peacing out. I don’t have the energy for survival skills. The logistics of how humanity survives in this novel are so impossible that I wasn’t sure at first I would be able to read it. Once I turned off my rational brain, I was swept up in the twists and turns of the story and couldn’t put the book down. In addition to a page-turning plot, there are many thought-provoking passages and ideas about what it means to be human and about what is necessary for a human society to remain truly human. Well-written, entertaining, and engaging as long as you are able to suspend disbelief about the impossible logistics of the Antarctic migration.
