The Vela: A Novel by Yoon Ha LeeMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
The Vela is the first book of two. This book has chapters written in an alternating fashion by SL Huang, Yoon Ha Lee, Becky Chambers, and Rivers Solomon. I enjoy reading things by all of them, so I figured this book would be just right, and it was! You can also find it in podcast form along with the second book. Each chapter is an episode. The Vela takes on climate change on an interplanetary level. Having mined their sun beyond the point of no return, some planets have reached the point of extinction, others have people desperately trying to get anywhere else. Those planets not yet affected are dealing with an influx of climate refugees in various ways. Does any of this sound familiar? Plenty of food for thought going on here.
