Short book about a future where elephants are extinct in the wild, mammoths have been brought back in Siberia, and human minds can be extracted and transplanted. The message wasn’t anything mind-blowing (poaching bad, restoring natural habitats good, etc) but it was good regardless.

The way it came back around at the end to the mammoths booting Svyatoslav from the herd… heartbreaking! Incredible writing!

I read this partially via ebook, partially via audiobook. I hate to say it but I really didn’t like the voice of one of the two audiobook narrators. I got used to it eventually but wow, the vocal fry on that man is wild.
