Histoire
Con man Milan Berg has a photographic memory. But he’s hiding a secret: He can’t read. Unable to interpret the world around him, Milan finds increasingly crafty ways to navigate it. That is, until he comes across a car in traffic with a girl in the back seat. She desperately holds a written note up to the window, but what does it say? Fearing the girl is in mortal danger, Milan determines to search for her. As he follows a series of clues, each darker and scarier than the next, he’s thrust into a nightmarish odyssey with a deepening, disturbing progression: The clues are tied to his past.

When the entrance door, locked from the inside, is battered down, rescuers find an empty tower. A table is laid for a meal not eaten.

Histoire
The day Anna McDonald's quiet, respectable life explodes starts off like all the days before: Packing up the kids for school, making breakfast, listening to yet another true crime podcast. Then her husband comes downstairs with an announcement, and Anna is suddenly, shockingly alone. Reeling, desperate for distraction, Anna returns to the podcast. Other people's problems are much better than one's own - a sunken yacht, a murdered family, a hint of international conspiracy. But this case actually is Anna's problem. She knows one of the victims from an earlier life.

A compelling look inside the Space Shuttle missions that helped lay the groundwork for the Space Age, Shuttle, Houston explores the determined personalities, technological miracles, and 11th-hour saves that have given us human spaceflight. Relaying stories of missions (and their grueling training) in vivid detail, Paul Dye, NASA's longest-serving flight director, examines the split-second decisions that the directors and astronauts were forced to make in a field where mistakes are unthinkable and errors led to the loss of national resources - and more importantly one's crew.

In our unique genomes, every one of us carries the story of our species - births, deaths, disease, war, famine, migration, and a lot of sex. But those stories have always been locked away - until now. Who are our ancestors? Where did they come from? Geneticists have suddenly become historians, and the hard evidence in our DNA has completely upended what we thought we knew about ourselves. Acclaimed science writer Adam Rutherford explains exactly how genomics is completely rewriting the human story - from 100,000 years ago to the present.

There are some odd things about Nate’s new apartment. Of course, he has other things on his mind. He hates his job. He has no money in the bank. No girlfriend. No plans for the future. So while his new home isn’t perfect, it’s livable. The rent is low, the property managers are friendly, and the odd little mysteries don’t nag at him too much. At least, not until he meets Mandy, his neighbor across the hall, and notices something unusual about her apartment. And Xela’s apartment. And Tim’s. And Veek’s.

Description
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW EDITORS' CHOICE • ROXANE GAY'S AUDACIOUS BOOK CLUB PICK • FINALIST FOR THE URSULA K. LE GUIN PRIZE
"Moving and thought-provoking . . . offering psychological insights in lyrical prose while seriously exploring speculative conceits." — New York Times Book Review
"Haunting and luminous . . . Beautiful and lucid science fiction. An astonishing debut." — Alan Moore, creator of Watchmen and V for Vendetta
Recommended by New York Times Book Review • Los Angeles Times • NPR • Washington Post • Wall Street Journal • Entertainment Weekly • Esquire • Good Housekeeping • NBC News • Buzzfeed • Goodreads • The Millions • The Philadelphia Inquirer • Minneapolis Star-Tribune • San Francisco Chronicle • The Guardian • and many more!
For fans of Cloud Atlas and Station Eleven, a spellbinding and profoundly prescient debut that follows a cast of intricately linked characters over hundreds of years as humanity struggles to rebuild itself in the aftermath of a climate plague—a daring and deeply heartfelt work of mind-bending imagination from a singular new voice.
In 2030, a grieving archeologist arrives in the Arctic Circle to continue the work of his recently deceased daughter at the Batagaika Crater, where researchers are studying long-buried secrets now revealed in melting permafrost, including the perfectly preserved remains of a girl who appears to have died of an ancient virus.
Once unleashed, the Arctic plague will reshape life on Earth for generations to come, quickly traversing the globe, forcing humanity to devise a myriad of moving and inventive ways to embrace possibility in the face of tragedy. In a theme park designed for terminally ill children, a cynical employee falls in love with a mother desperate to hold on to her infected son. A heartbroken scientist searching for a cure finds a second chance at fatherhood when one of his test subjects—a pig—develops the capacity for human speech. A widowed painter and her teenaged granddaughter embark on a cosmic quest to locate a new home planet.
From funerary skyscrapers to hotels for the dead to interstellar starships, Sequoia Nagamatsu takes listeners on a wildly original and compassionate journey, spanning continents, centuries, and even celestial bodies to tell a story about the resilience of the human spirit, our infinite capacity to dream, and the connective threads that tie us all together in the universe.
"Wondrous, and not just in the feats of imagination, which are so numerous it makes me dizzy to recall them, but also in the humanity and tenderness with which Sequoia Nagamatsu helps us navigate this landscape. . . . This is a truly amazing book, one to keep close as we imagine the uncertain future." — Kevin Wilson, New York Times bestselling author of Nothing to See Here

Nuanced
A complex, nuanced book that weaves the stories of many individuals together over time and major events. I suspect there are even more links between each story than can be gathered on a single read.
There is tenderness, love, hope, and humanity; the loss of one star is for the heavy weighting of melancholy and the odd story I simply didn’t relate to well; a few are so powerful they brought me to tears (Pig son), and some so imaginative I couldn’t stop listening.
Overall: worth the read

How Humans Cope
January 2022 | 4/5
In the near future, an archaeologist takes up his recently deceased daughters job in an Arctic dig. They have uncovered the thawing remains of an ancient homo sapiens like, female in the permafrost, that unleashes a plague that sweeps the globe.
The novel then looks at individual stories from a cast of characters, spanning centuries, that show how humanity has suffered, with a pinch of hope.
A first person narrative is used giving each story a unique voice, though the stories do bleed into each other, and we have a few repeat characters.
As I was reading, I couldn't help but feel these were once short stories (they were), knitted together for a novel length book. It works and it doesn't. The connections are loose at times, and the stories can feel - distant. But overall well done.
It was an interesting read, dark, with a glimmer of light. If you're worried about climate change, pandemics, and mutants, Nagamatsu has it covered.

Not for me
Intro and outro are pretty interesting with some flickers of greatness in the middle. But overall pretty disjointed and unsatisfying.
Might just not be the right category as there isnt much "space conquest" but some rather poetic and at times random forays into the human condition.
Delivery doesn't help at all either.

Should come with a sadness warning
Wow, this one was depressing. Extremely well written but very depressing. If you have suffered during this crazy pandemic, this book about the after affects from the "Arctic Plague" may not be the book for you. It is basically about how we as individuals, communities and the earth would deal with loss, grief, and death following a life as we know it altering plague.
These themes are told through a series of stories, some better than others, with strings connecting the lives of the characters told within. There is also a bit of science fiction as the stories go farther and farther through time and even space. Overall, an engrossing read but I did have problems with some of the narrators who might have been amateurs and sounded as if they were reading right from the book. Give it a try but heed my sadness warning. If you don't get a lump in your throat or a tear in your eye listing to the "Pig Son" story, you need to check your heart.

This Was A Great Listen
I finished the brief eternity The Terror by Dan Simmons and it’s a good book with a problematic ending and a terrible narrator. How High We Go In The Dark was an antidote. All but one narrator is excellent with one slightly over dramatic segment that was still very well read. The prose is wonderful, full of small and grand insights about connection in a time of trial and terrible strife.
This is a connecting series of stories that build a narrative about grief, puzzlement, and extraordinary sadness. It features a pandemic at a juncture with climate based collapse. There are elements of science fiction and a couple of segments that reminded me of Cloud Cuckoo Land although I preferred How High…. and it’s execution. Particularly, I appreciated the book’s coping strategy of commodification of death. It was hard at first hearing it but ends up being a blessing to some of the book’s characters.
Sadly, there will be team republicans that will see this book as another woke snowflake manifesto (it is not) while team democrats will feel emboldened (which they shouldn’t.) I would say both political takes on the themes would be wrong and ironic as part of the book is about how communication between us breaks down as stressors build.
The early stages of the book were rough for me. While not about or similar to Covid19 the underlying feelings are there. Most of us have lost friends or family or suffered the isolation and uncertainty a pandemic brings. The book was intense and I almost DNF’d. Thankfully I continued and was rewarded with a good tale that, sadness infused, held out hope and redemption.
A very well written book that deserves peoples attention.

Is there a singularity in my head?
What is happening? Are we human or are we dancer? The end sort of but not really brings things together which I guess might be the point. I enjoyed the narration, especially from a non-white perspective, and I very much respect the creativity of the story; it just didn’t come together for me in the way that I had hoped.

Amazing!
I can highly recommend this novel, even if you are not a fan of dystopian tales or science-fiction. This humanity is blindingly beautiful and horrifically sad.

I don't know
jumps around a lot going from chapter to chapter doesn't really make much sense the end tries to tie it all together kind of does kind of doesn't and then it's over and you're like what?

Trippy
Wild sci fi ride! Each chapter it’s own short story and wrapped up into a bow in the end. Super imaginative, a little frightening and very trippy! Not usually my genre but thoroughly enjoyed this book

Entirety Different
This book appeared in my Audible Library. I do not remember purchasing it. The story that unfolds in many voices as the book is recited make the listening experience fascinating.

a deft exploration of existence and relationships
while some of the narration was a bit stiff this beautifully written series of interconnected stories takes the reader on journey what it means to find love and how far you may be willing to go to hold on to it. be it romantic, familial, or friendship, looking at these bonds through the rise duration and aftermath of a plague is extremely poignant as you watch characters grow and develop as circumstances eddy around them. i wasn’t sure what to expect but i absolutely loved it. highly recommended. a very hopeful book.

Thought provoking and timely
Sequoia Nagamatsu has created a world from start to finish but in a nonlinear way to expand on creation and exploration from now to the deist any future and back to creation itself. Exceptionally well narrated and I greatly enjoyed the multiple voices which help to flesh out each character. Looking forward to more!
