An effort to imagine how we got through the climate crisis to a livable future, but where memory fades quickly and a sinister capitalism is ready to sneak back in if not put down by the people who won't forget.
I really appreciated the way this story wove the parents very different perspectives on what it was like to work through the climate crisis (one has all the privilege and experiences of a cis white man from the north east US, one is an immigrant woman from the south west) and finds a very believable path to their relationship, and also doesn't rose tint the limitations therein.
