Just finished Ministry for the Future by Kim Stanley Robinson. That first chapter might be the most horrific thing I've ever read in my life, only because I fear it's actually possible. Also perhaps the best depiction of PTSD I've ever read. Other than that, honestly I found the writing style kind of annoying with all of the shorthand, truncated sentence fragments. Overall I felt like it was a good summary of the real challenges that the climate crisis presents.

Now I just started Project Hall Mary by Andy Weir. His writing style is just so easy and accessible; it's quite a contrast.

Also I'm super happy to see Leviathan Wakes on the list from last month. I love the Expanse universe so much; it makes me happy to see people are getting into it.
