Set in 2031, this book focuses on a neuroscientist who is working on a research project that will connect her brain to the psyche of one of the few remaining wild wolves. Along with this, you see her deteriorating relationship with her wife, as well as the state of the world around them. This story is a very believable near future both in terms of the year and in the state of the world: a hypercorperate place dealing even more with the effects of climate change.
Every layer of the story shows us a toxic relationship, what it's like to be so close to connection while merely being empty consumers instead. It's haunting and devastating, an all too realistic horror that was brilliantly done. It was the perfect length for what it was trying to do and it is definitely going to stick with me.
