Gods, Monsters, and the Lucky Peach

Review based on an #arc given to me for free by Tor.Com Publishing. It is scheduled for release on March 13, 2018.

Man, but this was a fun read. The characters are wonderful to read about (I love Kiki and Minh), and though it takes a while to really get into the worldbuilding, once you grasp it it's a really well-built, well thought-out world that projects a future that might not be too long in coming if we keep on going down the road we're on right now. See, Robson's novella overtly tackles climate change, but it does more than that: it suggests that we need to alter our thinking totally, in the sense that we should do the right thing, no matter how difficult or impossible, and that we should plan for the long-term. Doing the right thing and planning for the long-term might be hard, but they're important - maybe not for us living in the here and now, but for those who will come after us. The present is a trust we hold for the future, after all, and it would be remiss of us to waste it.
