@maddiefuzz wait that's a real thing
Just finished reading Children of Ruin by Adrian Tchaikovsky after getting more and more hyperfocused on snarfing it down.
Struck me as a wild mix of Vinge's A Deepness in the Sky, Brin's Uplift series, Stephenson's Seveneves, Hawley's Alien: Earth, and odd bits of Star Trek optimism. Somehow it all worked fabulously for me
Oh yeah, and there are bits of exposition straight out of nature documentaries and I was eating all that up too

@shtrom Yeah, there's also Children of Ruin and Children of Memory out. I'm just about to start reading that third one. And then in March, Children of Strife arrives. I'm really curious to see how he keeps it going.
@shtrom Heh, I read Children of Time as an e-book loan from my local library system. But then the time estimates on getting the next two books were way too long to wait, so yeah I just started buying the rest :blobsweats:
Light spoiler for Children of Time and Children of Ruin
One thing I really like, is that this author managed to build some narrative Necker Cubes in this series. That is, from one perspective, something reads like a horror - but, with a few more details, the perspective flips and it's suddenly the complete opposite.
@wackJackle Also be aware that if they see leaf blowers, they haul out the gas powered foggers full of tear gas to escalate
