Appleseed

Appleseed by Matt Bell, 2021

It took me almost a month to get through this book and I had to check it out of the library twice. This was a very fascinating and ambitious book that is both a dystopian science fiction novel and a historical story of manifest destiny and climate change. It is also a very intense tech thriller.

The book jumps around between the distant past, the near future and the distant future. It includes many reimagined myths, legends and fairy tales. It was a very memorable book about the natural world and the corporate devastation of it.

The second part of the book takes place fifty years into the future and makes me cry for my grandchildren.
