Very short and very good
5 stars
I rarely read short stories but when I do, I usually love them. This is no exception, the short stories are creative and inspiring, and motivate me to find small ways to work towards a better future in my own life. I very much enjoyed reading them and the little commentaries in between, and the format makes it easy to read them in between, for example while taking a short break.

Ein sehr schönes, zart erzähltes, emotionales Buch. Ich wollte die Charaktere öfters mal schütteln damit sie nicht so viel aneinander vorbei reden und leben. Es beschreibt sehr gut, wie sehr wir manchmal in unserer Lebenswelt und Perspektive feststecken und nicht merken, wie wir damit andere Menschen verletzen können oder was diese gerade brauchen, oder auch was wir gerade brauchen. Und es geht um Videospiele, und es ist keine klassische romantische Liebesgeschichte, sondern es geht um tiefe Freundschaft 🥰
A very beautiful, delicate, emotional book. I wanted to shake the characters a few times so that they don't talk and live so much past each other. It describes very well how much we are sometimes stuck in our own world and perspective and do not realise how we hurt other people or what they need at the moment, or even what we ourselves need at the moment. And it's about video …

Found it on my library’s overdrive/libby app! I read the first story, Slimy Things Did Crawl, and enjoyed it very much. I found out there’s also a podcast and newsletter both called bright green futures about climate fiction and utopia, and am very curious to listen/read more about it
