The Shadows Tomorrow by Noëlle MichelMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Full Disclosure: I received an Advanced Reader's Copy of The Shadows Tomorrow by Noelle Michel from Simon & Schuster via NetGalley. This book will be published around August 4, 2026.
The Shadows Tomorrow by Noelle Michel was translated into English by Frank Wynne. The story is told across a span of the near future in alternating chapters from different character perspectives. I won't be giving anything away to say that in this near future, scientists have brought Neanderthals back from extinction much like we have already done with dire wolves. For research purposes, they are kept in remote sanctuaries and kept from having contact with Homo Sapiens. They even use the research footage to make a reality TV show called Another Eden so that people can watch them like a virtual zoo. Ethicists would be losing their minds. Disturbing premise aside, it is a great book!
Bonus points for travel bans on meat eaters. At least, I think that was the proposal. I'm sure it had to do with carbon footprint or something, but I am all for it! Would make my travel so much easier!
