For fans of Cloud Atlas and Station Eleven, a spellbinding and profoundly prescient work of literary science fiction that follows a cast of intricately linked characters over hundreds of years as humanity struggles to rebuild itself in the aftermath of a climate plaguea daring and deeply heartfelt work of mind-bending imagination from a singular new voice.
In 2030, a grieving archeologist arrives in the Arctic Circle to continue the work of his recently deceased daughter at the Batagaika Crater, where researchers are studying long-buried secrets now revealed in melting permafrost, including the perfectly preserved remains of a girl who appears to have died of an ancient virus.
Once unleashed, the Arctic plague will reshape life on Earth for generations to come, quickly traversing the globe, forcing humanity to devise a myriad of moving and inventive ways to embrace possibility in the face of tragedy. In a theme park designed for terminally ill children, a cynical employee falls in love with a mother desperate to hold on to her infected son. A heartbroken scientist searching for a cure finds a second chance at fatherhood when one of his test subjectsa pigdevelops the capacity for human speech. A widowed painter and her teenaged granddaughter embark on a cosmic quest to locate a new home planet.
From funerary skyscrapers to hotels for the dead to interstellar starships, Sequoia Nagamatsu takes readers on a wildly original and compassionate journey of interconnected stories, spanning continents, centuries, and even celestial bodies to tell a story about the resilience of the human spirit, our infinite capacity to dream, and the connective threads that tie us all together in the universe.
"Wondrous, and not just in the feats of imagination, which are so numerous it makes me dizzy to recall them, but also in the humanity and tenderness with which Sequoia Nagamatsu helps us navigate this landscape. . . . This is a truly amazing book, one to keep close as we imagine the uncertain future." Kevin Wilson, New York Times bestselling author of Nothing to See Here

Dieses Buch ist eine Verkettung...
Dieses Buch ist eine Verkettung tragischer Schicksale mit leichtem Sci-Fi Touch. Ich musste bei mehreren Kapiteln zu Taschentüchern greifen. Traurig aber wunderschön. -

Heavy, but in a good way
I literally have no idea how to begin talking about this book. ''How High We Go in the Dark'' is an intense and powerful read, set up in stories, all intimately connected. In 2030, researchers discover an ancient virus, unleashing a pandemic quickly traversing the globe. If you intend on reading this, let me give you a trigger warning: obviously this read deals with death, grief and destruction. But it's also one of the most tender and beautiful books I have ever read. I really can't put into words how much it means to me. And bear in mind, usually I don't go for dystopian reads or any books set up in stories - in this case, I'm glad I did! -

Fantastic debut that keeps you thinking
I love this book. It was one of my absolute favourites of 2022. Set in the present and reaching far into the future “How High We Go in the Dark” is a collection of interconnected short stories. In the beginning the reader follows scientists discovering a human body in the permafrost. It contains a deadly virus which starts a global pandemic. Do we really need another pandemic disaster? Isn’t our own life enough? Yes and no. Nagamatsu mirrors our own experiences of quarantine, mass infection and social distancing but at the same time he invents different solutions of an impossible situation. There are quite a few elements of science fiction in this book while being relatable at the same time. In every chapter the reader follows a different character who needs to deal with the reality of a radically changed world. I was emotionally invested in every story and intrigued to see these people deal with problems similar to our own. Reading “How High We Go in the Dark” can be quite heart-breaking, especially if you have young children (due to this virus being the most dangerous for young people). Next to being a depressing book it also made me think a lot and even month after reading it, the stories stay vividly in my mind. -

This book is not bad by any means....
This book is not bad by any means. It is fantastically written and the short stories leave enough room for the characters to develop very well, it just leaves you emotionally wrenchded. And I think I was not ready for it. Be ready for a very close look at what humans are made of.
