I'm nearly ready to submit my 9-book review of the inaugural Ursula K. Le Guin Prize shortlist - but outside award purposes, I just want to call your attention, #CoSoBooks #SciFi, to How High We Go in the Dark.

It's been promoted as Cloud Atlas meets Station Eleven because it spans character contexts & a plague. But it's much more than that. It's a meditation on how our humanity relentlessly shows up in how we acculturate to new stories of death & dying. Strong Buddhist vibes, & a lovely read.
