Reception
Writer Noah Berlatsky said the novel "features ecoterrorists, evil corporations, a race to defuse doomsday weapons, gunfire, fisticuffs, action sequences and hair-raising escapes... VanderMeer introduces all this genre fun mostly to subvert it".[1] Writing in the New York Times, author Helen Phillips called the novel "climate fiction at its most urgent and gripping".[2]
