Oddly little is happening for a book that doesn’t use many adjectives? Am I missing the point, or is it a slow burn, or am I just projecting my expectations? The Earthseed stuff feels a bit gimmicky.

I think the prose is interesting. Nothing very descriptive, but more focused on what is going on. Feels very conversational. The author conveys a Mad Max style, dry, arid, dystopian future, and a sense of unease and indignation at being the only one who is seeing the massive elephant in the room. Not exactly sure when this was written but the dates referenced are today, and definitely relevant. Feels clairvoyant.
