Escaping Exodus by Nicky Drayden

3.0

---

Listened to on audio. Nicky Drayden’s stuff is always different-wild ideas executed to y’all about climate change, classism, racism, and revolution. Escaping Exodus is about a living beast that serves as a home for a society that is so tightly structured, and how people react when the beast is dying due to overpopulation (sound familiar?). This is based in a matriarchal society, and Drayden uses that to have conversations about how it looks when one gender has more power and how that can shift, along with talking about the environment, and societal changes. Interesting, for sure. I have to say one of the narrators was super breathy which took away my enjoyment, so I would suggest e-book or physical book options for this one, but also know there it gets WEIRD.
