how high we go in the dark by Sequoia Nagamatsu

This slightly sci-fi novel of interleaving stories is entirely too melodramatic, maudlin and death obsessed, because it doesn’t earn any of it - the characters are all shallow copies of each other with very little depth or voice.

Loved it as a kid, thought it was dumb in my 20s, now I’ve come back around on this classic sci-fi emo thriller, not only did it inspire a whole raft of culture in its wake, it’s honestly pretty inspiring and touching.

Both the sci-fi elements and the scientist characters are really fun and involving in this carl sagan book adaptation - but on the other hand the love interest is really annoying and the movie should’ve been 30 minutes shorter.
