Ooo, Iβm in! Iβm always down for weird sci-fi! I just checked out the trailer and was like, βOh, itβs got Chloe Bennet? I am so in!β And then was like, oh, also kung fu? Yeeessss! And music by Mark Mothersbaugh (and Nick Lee who I donβt know but sounds great!)? Oh heck yeah!
Iβm excited!

Just added this to my library queue! π Recently (maybe because of the current H5N1 panzootic) Iβve been having the feels about the disconnect between humans and the other species we share this planet with. Looking forward to checking out this book!
