A demoralizing look at the near future. The novel paints a pretty insightful picture of the conditions, structural and personal, driving us to where we’re headed. Combines that with some occasionally irritating prose.

This New Yorker review is the best thing you might read about the novel:

Interesting exploration of green lifestyle and consciousness-altering pharmaceuticals. I do love Berlin as a city and it’s nice to see something set there.

Gurl you move to a mountain with a boy like Louis and you deserve to suffer a little until you buck up and discover the biological truth of the mountain!!! Are you a girlfriend or a SCIENTIST???

The subject seemed compelling, and with blurbs by Jeff VanderMeer and Tom McCarthy, the book seemed promising, but it was a disappointment. Wilk has some neat ideas, and she writes of things that reminded me of works by both VanderMeer and McCarthy that I admired, but ultimately, so much of the book was just dull recounting of dud relationships. It doesn't begin to be especially enjoyable until near the end, and then it stops.
