    This was engaging, weird and darkly funny. The stage direction "A few days later. They are munching on Roger." will haunt my nightmares. For real, give this a read, but make sure you have 10-15 minutes as you won't want to put it down.

    Set a bit into our future, this satire hits several juicy targets about The Way We Live Now: the disaster of climate change inaction and the schadenfreude-rich spectacle of reckless mega-rich tourism chief among them. But it's also just a very funny survival (or not) story, with dumb people dumbing dumbly as their circumstances get increasingly dire. Fun, funny, and delightfully, daffily dark.
