It's 5:34 AM, I'm a quarter of the way into The Ministry for the Future now & it's still good! Taking a break now to think about what I've read. Most of the info or concepts are not new to me but I've also last talked to my therapist about climate change like two sessions ago, without much positive resolution, so just on the personal level reflecting on the hope in here may be useful. It's much less viscerally upsetting than the wetbulb heatwave of the first chapter tho it delves into ramifications, both personal, political and for int'l climate politics (perhaps I may miss my own visceral horror at the future being reflected slightly)

Also I really appreciate the collage-esque writing style. The chapters are really short and alternate between sections from a range of characters to short almost-notes on various concepts
