In this video, I discuss the newly released science fiction book How High We Go In the Dark by Sequoia Nagamatsu. While this book starts off slowly, and I spend a lot of time discussing the issues I had with the prose, the compassion around death and loss really struck me. It’s a perfect book for the time, one of isolation and disconnections, and I took to heart the hopeful ending. We can get through this. We can be better. Together.

Just finished reading this as part of the 2022 Ursula LeGuin prize shortlist. What a beautifully prepared video. Really appreciated your review. I liked this book but wasn't wowed by it. Would like to reread once to see if my first impression holds or I appreciate it more.

This is one of those books where the name and cover are so fitting. I gotta disagree with you. For me, chapter 1 was captivating and really pulled me in. And I think it continued to be my favorite until the end.
