finished reading The Deluge πππππ
A US-centric view of the coming two decades as the climate and social cohesion rapidly break down. Amplifies the worst of current political & economic trends to create a truly terrifying but not-impossible dystopia. Told from a rich variety of perspectives, though compresses the pace of climate change improbably (I hope!). Intense, scary & draining.

@WildWoila @wildwoila@aus.social Been on my list but have hesitated. Not sure how your review makes me feel, LOL.
@jwilker
It's very good, but there's some self-flagellation involved ... It's a bit too close to the bone to work as escapist dystopian fiction. Don't attempt it if you're feeling thin!
@wildwoila @WildWoila@reviewdb.app very good to know! Thanks
