This book is a great, albeit challenging, read.  Getting through the first chapter can be challenging given your anxiety around climate disaster, but it is ultimately hopeful regarding our species ability to solve this problem.  I highly recommend it to anyone interested in cli-fi, climate science, or our future on this planet.  I especially recommend the audiobook, which has a variety of voice actors lending themselves to the multitude of voices present in this books unconventional structure.
