Felt like a 355 page philosophical debate about how to manage differing views on the climate crisis. The number of monologues from characters meant to be in their late teens to late twenties where they made complex arguments about refugees, housing, utopic states, bitcoin, libertarianism, extremism, radical socialism, aid work, and more was as unbelievable as it sounds. By the end I was skim reading a lot of the denser paragraphs just because I hate DNRing books.
