It’s the not-too-distant future in the American west, and sadly, things are going about the way we were warned they would go if we didn’t clean up our act. The only way forward is to trust the science. Can we still save our environment? Does anyone even know what that means, even after a hundred years of Earth Days? So what you’re wondering here is: Is this one of those sad, despairing novels (a full 260 pages) where we’re hurtling toward a completely avoidable, climate-fueled hell on earth? Because we read The Road, and we didn’t like it. I agree, and I wouldn’t do that to you. This is fiction. And the great thing about science fiction books is that even if you don’t read them now, they will only become more true in the future. it’s a requirement for science fiction books. Does any future dystopian world you’ve read about have wild horses, the EverGreenpeace, the Church of Wendell Berry, vat meat, python fights, cruise ship mutinies, The Glitterati, or the Valley of the Dogs? None of them do. I packed this book with fictional, yet somehow disturbingly real, future possibilities, because I care about stories. For this reason, I urge you to pick up this poignant novel about how we can save parts of it all, if only we band together and-well, you need to read the book to find out. And if you’re just an anarchist who wants to see it all burn, that’s in here too. Because never forget, friends--Nature bats last. Despite our future trials, which are numerous and confusing, we persevere. Because life is either a grand adventure, or you’re a robot, and nobody wants that. Never trust the robots.
