2.0

Fun concept that used comedy and beautifully descriptive writing to write a book that prompts you to think about climate change and extinction. Difficult to follow a lot of the time as it was quite jumpy, I ended up using an audiobook for most of my reading experience, but still struggling to work out what was happening and if I should care. It was just difficult to connect with hence the low rating despite it being well written and thought provoking.
