Brendan rated Liberation Day: 5 stars
Brendan started reading Liberation Day by George Saunders
The opening titular story is absolutely mind blowing. Reminds me a lot of the great TV show Severance in that there is an aspect of memory severance. I’m going to write a more full examination of it but I’m already thrilled that Saunders has returned to his more speculative fiction like short story writing. Lincoln on the Bardo just didn’t work for me, but this work is more in the vein 10th of December.

I really like this book because it’s well written and keeps you interested. It’s not something that will blow your mind but it’s good for an entertaining read. It gives you hope that we as humans could figure out a solution of the climate crisis and not end up in Mad Max world. It elucidates possibilities and makes me think that we can come up with some solutions.
