4.0

A thought-provoking novella about climate-change, capitalist greed,  and uploading one’s consciousness into a mammoth. 

Nayler’s work as a foreign service officer and research into poaching shine through. In under 200 pages, he takes the reader through the many perspectives of those whose lives are touched by ivory poaching. The scientists, the buyers, the poachers, and some who are in between. 

I read the novella for book club and finished in one sitting. I thoroughly enjoyed it and plan to read more of Nayler’s work.

Also, Damira should have stomped Anthony into a pulp!!!
