Daughter of the Moon Goddess by Sue Lynn Tan

Camp Zero is a very realistic picture of what the next 30 to 50 years may end up looking like. Climate change won't stop the wheel of capitalism, and those who cannot afford to move will probably be left to perish.

I can't say I enjoyed it, since it's full of unlikeable characters whose greed (in many different forms) contributes to their own destruction, but I did find a lot of value in reading it. I haven't read such a realistic take on dystopian fiction in a long time.

The three narratives in this story run on parallel lines to start, White Alice seeming especially ethereal and sacred, until everything comes crashing together in quite a unique way. Sterling also crafts some very vivid imagery that I'm sure will stick with me for a long time to come.
