I gave this a 2.5 on StoryGraph but I'm rounding down here because it really wasn't very good.
I think I've just read too many climate books the past few years, but this did nothing for me. Don't feel like I learned much about climate change or how to deal with it. If you're thinking about picking this up. The Heat Will Kill You First, The Treeline, A Poison Like No Other (which is technically about plastics but touches on how that relates to climate change), Kings of the Yukon, Eager: The Surprising Secret Life of Beavers, or even Islands of Abandonment or Saving Tarboo Creek all do a much better job of discussing climate change and its effects, often with more interesting and concrete science and research to back it all up, and compelling possible solutions.

I knew I would enjoy this, but I didn't realize quite how much. As soon as I heard it was about a trans archivist librarian I was sold, but the additions of it being a book about fandom and about how queer people discover themselves on the internet, with a little SF-specific flavor... this book is For Me, truly. I read some other people's reviews of it who didn't love it, and I get why--it's niche, and sometimes the gender politics of it aren't clean or nice. The writing felt luxurious to me, and I love a book that uses different kinds of prose formatting (scripts, chat logs, forum posts, etc.) to tell its story. I don't think it's a book that will work or even be pleasurable for most people, but god I really liked it
