this is lowkey nonspeculative horror, I have a lot more to say about it but not at the moment

I meant to write a review of this for Granite Media but haven’t yet for reasons.

“We’re just following orders!”

Those last words hung in the air for a while.

“You are just following orders, said Roz at last. “In a way, you humans are more robotic than I am.”

Wow, this actually goes pretty hard for a kids book. Then on the next page she spirals, learning the destructive mining is all for building robots like her. And then it’s like the orca yacht attacks but at oceanic industrial scale.

Can humans and animals and robots all get along and save the oceans? We’ll have to see…

Reading with my son, finishing out the trilogy.

Actually, I have no idea if it is a trilogy or if it is going to keep going even after this one.

Reading Soil again because I want to move forward with rewilding my yard, but a little more intentionally as Dungy describes in this book, instead of my lazy ways. This book is the only thing I’ve encountered so far that describes something close to what I want to try to do going forward.

Also, I just really like this book and wanted to practice notemaking and writing my thoughts and responses to it this time around.

I will definitely get back to this one soon.

Random serendipitous connection to two other books I was reading-

1. I Love Information references these, which is why I looked them up.
2. This apparent first translation of the elegies into English was made by V. Sackville-West, to whom Orlando is dedicated, and who appears as Orlando in some of the photographs in the book. (There’s a lot more to possibly say about her connection to Virginia Woolf and Orlando, but I’ll leave it at that.)

Now I’ve read this book twice, I could probably read it again and again, but I don’t know why exactly

Should write more about this book (and I have written more about this book) but don’t feel like sharing yet.
