This is really good. It’s made up of different plot threads, but also images from places and events, and even meeting minutes and strange interludes from things like history and computer code.

It’s a very important book, in that it shows that we could save the Earth, but not by making an important invention and then keeping going the was we do now. We would need to address more than carbon, things like economic gaps, refugees, war, gender roles among other things.

Oh, and a “warning”: make sure you are comfortable when you start reading the book, specifically that the space you are in is at a comfortable temperature. I read the first chapter while being too warm on the first day of a heat wave after a week of rain. Don’t do that!!!
