Extinction can be as global as all, or as personal as me.

I listened to the audiobook version of Noah's Raven by Kij Johnson, which was definitely unexpected. It's a take on Noah's Ark that, for me, brought to mind Snowpiercer (for reasons I won't spoil, though I'm still like WHAT). Johnson's writing is undeniably captivating and there were several lines in the story that really stood out for me.

Will be coming back to this issue to check out the rest of the stories, for sure.
