- I sit here trying to write a review of AFTER WORLD and find myself just making sad, overwhelmed noises. This is one of the most devastating, inventive, and beautiful books I've ever read.
- This book is an exploration into the best and worst of humanity, and a harsh vision of a potential future. (The content warnings are extremely real here, friends.) Amid that, it's also a loving look at our planet and its many possibilities.
- To be honest, I'm not sure this book fully stuck the landing at the end, but I'll be turning the rest of it over in my mind for months to come.
