this is an almost 900-page book that i was in awe of, a kaleidoscopic view of the climate crisis, set in the near-future. stephen obviously researched and made his best projections about what is coming, and it is fascinating and catastrophic and cinematic. there's a sequence where la is on fire i will never forget; there's a couple of those sequences really. he doesn't engage with whether or not a super ai will save us or destroy us, but i can forgive him. this is a great book.

I read it years ago and haven’t stopped thinking about it since! John Green’s The Anthropocene Reviewed is also a great non-fiction if you haven’t read it!

Books Unbanned is an initiative started by the Brooklyn Public Library to make banned literature accessible to teens and young adults. several other libraries have joined the initiative as well!
any residents of the USA between the ages of 13-26, can get a free library card that allows you full access to the library’s entire online catalog!!!!!
Brooklyn Public Library offers their cards for 13-21 year olds and you have to email them directly(they don’t have a link): [email protected]
The Seattle & Boston public libraries offer their cards for 13-26 year olds!
The San Diego public library offers their card for 12-26 year olds and they use the CloudLibrary app instead of the Libby app to access their e-book catalog.
LA County also offers their unbanned card but for 13-18 year old California residents only.
And no worries if you’re aged out! You can join the Queer Liberation Library on the Libby app, The New York Library’s Free For All program through the SimplyE app, and The Banned Books Club through The Palace Project app!!!
