My main issue is that I hate the idea behind the Not Zombies in this book that the reason that humanity as a whole was doomed was because we just couldn't look up from technology to respect nature. I loved the idea of connecting with deep, natural times (and I love the idea of the the Aura), but I just felt like...this just sort of conflates the ecological problems with big tech/environmentally destructive industries/etc. with individuals. Like...it felt like Buxton should have either made the zombies a metaphor for humanity's over-reliance on social media/phones (a la Warm Bodies) or it should have focused on environmental problems caused by by big corporations. Pushing the two together was just sort of messy.Â
