pickA refreshing change for me: the idea that humans will still be around in 59,000 AD, working to keep all living things in balance on a terraformed planet. Very queer, anti-capitalist, uplifting solarpunk, told in 3 interconnected novellas over a vast timespan. Audiobook read by Emily Lawrence includes music & other sounds. #LGBTQ #SpeculativeFiction
In the environmental movement there‘s a lot of frustration because we want to fix things right now, but these are problems that took us generations to get into and they‘re going to be with us for generations to come.
—Annalee Newitz in an interview, when asked about the 16,000 year timespan of their novel.
pickKim Stanley Robinson meets Becky Chambers with more queer cuddling++ and a cast that looks a little like Guardians of the Galaxy but even more diverse (example: a sentient flying train), does that sell you on reading this yet? I was actually close to DNFing this early on—it‘s a challenging read with 1600-year-spanning ambition, yet I finished enraptured, immersed in this epic, inspiring story of planetary care and community over corporate greed.
