Hummingbird Salamander by Jeff VanderMeer

2.0

Vandermeer is one of my favorite authors, I'm close to reading his entire works. •Hummingbird Salamander• was not a storyline I deeply enjoyed - it's a lot of internal dialogue of a person asking themselves the same question over and over. But like any of Vandermeer's book, it stresses the current issues of our world concerning climate change, mass animal extinctions, and our apathetic human response to the issue. He calls it the "fatal adaption."

"To care more meant putting a bullet in your brain. So , like many, I had learned to care less."

•Hummingbird Salamander• caused me to pause and consider the realities of climate change, my personal apathy with the situation and how I can force myself out of inaction to try and help. Which I am grateful for. I hope it pushes all of its' readers to enact change. Before it's too late.
