A review by allegedarchivist
Otherlands by Thomas Halliday

informative inspiring reflective sad slow-paced

4.25

Halliday’s prose is beautiful and the scientific backing is clear from his well-cited novel. Occasionally, the imagery left something to be desired and the pace could be slow. Nevertheless, Otherlands is an essential read that takes the reader through time in a way that is not just linear temporally, but also thematically. It’s a genius way to structure the book, and it’s powerfully ended with a nuanced yet forceful case for us to make the changes that are needed to preserve what remains of our ecosystem.
