Sequoia Nagamatsu's How High We Go in the Dark is the fascinating and terrifying story of what happens to the Earth after the arrival of a climate plague. Spanning thousands of years, Nagamatsu's debut celebrates the malleability of humans while also challenging the norms of death, memory, and grief. This book is a bonkers adventure that includes a talking pig, space travel, Euthanasia theme parks, and a pile of souls stacked on top of each other to save a child. This is a fantastic book.
