Kinda weird, I won't lie, but this book had a super interesting and thought-provoking view on death that was almost refreshing to read. I can understand feeling some profound discomfort reading about the normalization of the death of children, especially, but there's something I found really compelling about how framing the commoditization of it in the way of a theme park or "death hotel". Sure, it's not dropping bombs or spreading disease/famine, but what's the real difference at the end of the day between that and a roller coaster that euthanizes them before they die from disease? It's a really interesting concept and Im glad to have read it.
This was a tough book, a good book. I think it would have been more enjoyable (as much as one can enjoy the subjects of global warming, pandemics, loss, and loneliness) if I’d read it in 2019. The last chapter, though, is really something special. It ties everything together and will make you want to reread some chapters with new insight. It might be one of my favorite final chapters ever.
