Notes from the Burning Age
by Claire North
This book was enticing in the same way that I found books like 1984 and Fahrenheit 451 captivating in High School. It is like poking my head into a world that you can easily trace how you go from where you are now to the world depicted.
Notes from a Burning Age covers some similar ideas to what we see in the above books but with the looming threat that those in the younger generations live with, the destruction of the environment, and the consequences of our continued use of things like fossil fuels.
This book makes you think about whether or not it is alright to keep information away from people when that information could be considered dangerous, such as Nuclear Weapons.
This book covered so many ideas; that I stopped halfway through listening to buy a physical copy that I could mark up as I would have in High School. Having listened to the first half of this book again, I know there is so much more to see in this book, and I look forward to rereading this book.
I feel like this book could be a better discussion piece for High Schoolers to read in English Classes. It covers way more issues than what we see in the books (1984 and Fahrenheit 451) that have been standard in High Schools for the better part of 50 years. Including ones that are way more prevalent in the world, we live in today.
