My climate anxiety feels completely validated here wow wtf. And yet, I’m not drowning in despair right now - somehow there was a right balance of hope and despair.
Warning : It’s 900 pages long - I struggled through it even though I read fast, but I do think it’s completely worth it. There are many characters and I did find myself struggling in the first 200 pages to keep track of storylines and ideas. But it was worth it in the end.
It feels like a foretelling of our future. I only hope that many more people read this book and that we actually start to make the change that we need to see in this world.
