The ending felt somber in the realization that, there is really nothing we can do to save this planet. We're living on borrowed time. The best we can do is help the next apex species realize the mistakes we've made so that they don't repeat them. But maybe I'm just over here dooming. What are your thoughts?

If you think that book is somber then you should read his Bewilderment. Totally fucking crushing from beginning to end.

Why does Mr. Powers want to hurt us ๐Ÿ˜ญ

I'm gonna read Catch 22 again it's been a decade so I've forgot about most of it. I just remembered it being fun.

I think sad literature is good for you sometimes. Makes you think about what matters.
