What do I think about How High We Go in the Dark? Should you read Sequoia Nagamatsu’s debut novel?
It was mesmerizing. Mind-blowing. Devastating.
I am haunted by images from the novel. An altruistic swine. A mass of lost people cooperating to, hopefully, save an infant. Burn out among those working
Reading such an original novel, I feel spurred into alertness, dragged from my somnambulant comfort zone. This what I needed to get my mind reeving, get out of my slump.
I requested the galley for the references to Cloud Atlas and Station Eleven. And because on Twitter author Matt Bell (Appleseed) remarked on reading the galley and I followed Nagamatsu on Twitter. I was intrigued.
Yes, it is nightmarish stuff, about a plague and climate change and how society copes with mass deaths, capitalism responding by creating theme parks for dying children and new ways to memorialize the deceased. It is disturbing because although speculative fiction, we see its roots in reality.
It is also a deeply human and humane book with characters demonstrating love and courage. And hope.
What more can a reader ask from a novel? This one hits all the bases.

How High We Go in the Dark starts off in the year 2030 where a grieving father continues his deceased daughter’s archeology work at the Batagaika crater, where researchers are studying a site now revealed from the melting permafrost. There, they found a girl who appears to have died of an ancient
Once the virus is unleashed and becomes the Arctic Plague, it will reshape life on Earth, especially how humans grieve and handle death.
This novel dives deep into the grieving process and how that’s handled differently by everyone. There’s a lot of death in this book… a lot, but alongside that is also so much tender hope. As a reader, you see what the world could look like when death becomes a constant. It made you feel all kinds of emotions when reading about things such as the eulogy hotel chains that, depending on how much money you spent, you could say goodbye to loved ones in a luxurious room. Or, places like The City of Laughter, a euthanasia theme park aimed at giving children one last joyous day before passing. It even takes you out into deep space as members try to find a new plant to call home.
The novel is really made up of multiple stories all set in the same universe. It displays how all of us are connected, even in the smallest of ways, across the universe(s). You learn and read about one character in one story and then a story or two later, a small piece of them is brought up in another story.
I really enjoyed this novel, and some of the stories really stuck with me - their imagery, the characters, the conversations… it’s rare for me to be able to retell an entire scene/part of a novel without really missing anything from it.
Yes, this is a pandemic/plague novel, but I think this novel stands apart from others I have read or comparing it to our current Covid-19, because the Arctic Plague spread differently than others have… it was different. This book was different. I know it may be hard for some to read because of the connections you may make with Covid-19, but I still highly suggest this novel to read. There’s so much hope in this novel and small moments that make it well worth it.

I don't think I was in the right mood for this novel, and by that I mean awake. The chapters were more like vignettes vaguely tied together by a reincarnated alien, or whatever was going on there, which means I couldn't connect with any of the characters. For the first chapter, with the detached
I did like the Stephen King-esque reaction to the 'Arctic plague', a sort of Covid-style pandemic (hey, guess when the author started writing this book?) that takes out 50 million people in 2031. Funerals are suddenly big business, sick children are sent to euthanasia fun parks - a dark but very American attitude to death - pigs are genetically engineered to replace human organs, and AI robot pets take on deep emotional significance. Then the plot fragmented like the characters, and suddenly we get a Star Trek mission into space to find a 'new Earth' (don't bother, we'll just destroy that one too), followed by the reader being blasted even further into a post-plague future that was far too much like William Gibson's writing to hold my interest.

If you can stand to read about a pandemic even worse than the one we're in, this is a most powerful science fiction novel. In a fairly near future, the melting of the arctic icecap discloses the body of an ancient young girl and the virus that killed her millennia ago. The interlocking stories that

follow describe the horrors for the next hundreds of years from now, when that virus is unleashed on the world. The nightmarish quality of the mass deaths, the futility of science for centuries, and the impossible decisions that survivors are confronted with, make for difficult reading. Even reading this book fairly quickly, I found it hard to remember how characters were connected across generations, but those connections are what give the story strength and meaning, and what make it memorable.

Note: I have only read half of this book. I will say that I tried -- the problem is me at the moment. The world is such a dark place right now, people in my life are making it much darker, and this book is very very dark. One of the darkest I have ever read. Even if you take away that one of the

features of this book is a very odd pandemic - so fantastical it could never happen (which was a relief, to be sure), each story ends in a tough place. The book is a set of loosely connected stories, linked stories (which I guess gives it the comparisons to David Mitchell's 'Cloud Atlas' though there are plenty of other linked story novels). Characters pop up here and there, in a fantastical future. Maybe one day I will read the other half, but I can't do it now. If you like this book, give 'Bangkok Wakes to Rain' by Pitchaya Sudbanthad a chance - another set of linked stories about a bleak future. Show Less

For me, this worked really well as a story about illness, death, and grief, in aspects from the physical to the spiritual. The sci-fi aspects were secondary, and the more fantastical sci-fi bit, unnecessary.

The structure is unconventional, with portions written in different points of view and taking great leaps through time and space. One of the main themes is the importance of forming interpersonal connections. It is an exploration of grief and loss positioned within pandemic and climate change scenarios. The last few stories add a new dimension to the range of interpretations. I admired it and will look forward to reading another book by this author.

We start from the early 2030s, when a strange virus is found from the rapidly melting permafrost. Not long after, children and the elderly around the world start showing symptoms where their organs start replacing their cells with the cells of different organs. Soon death is commonplace, and society adapts as is the only way, and death is one more cog in the wheels of capitalism.
This isn't a traditional apocalyptic story, though, as the final third of the book focuses on what comes after the cure, and how the plague years have affected people and their ability to form bonds with others.
I cried so much while reading this, which is very uncommon for me with books where I only get to spend a little time with each character. The prose is great, and the author has a real gift in writing very real characters. Some of the stories really hit where it hurts.
Now, some stories are pretty contemporary, but others are varying degrees of science fiction. I would still urge people to read this regardless, even if you aren't usually a huge sci-fi fan.

Interconnected short stories that sometimes work, sometimes don´t. Those that work are breath-taking, but those that don´t are skimmable. I felt that the book could have been edited better - it was just too long for its theme. Through it all Nagamatsu´s prose touches the soul.

Ultimately, they all seemed to work together to contribute to the overall narrative, but I have to admit that a few of them felt a little too similar to previous ones and unnecessary.

Really, really good, but a pandemic book, so don’t try if that will be too much. This is a series of short stories/novellas linked by some of the characters: a POV character in one story is a minor/mentioned character in another. The book starts with a virus that comes out of the melting tundra

It’s about how people go on—still being people, good and bad, all traumatized, some of them making changes and some of them staying in place even as the world changes around them.

I absolutely adored this, and was planning to rate it five, right until the last chapter (or two, if the last page counts as a separate chapter), when the author pulled back their perspective, and effectively stacked it. If pseudo historical bullshit of the 'aliens built the pyramids' style piss
As a pandemic story, this is amazing. I was even more impressed when I read the afterword and discovered that this was completed prior to the early stages of the covid-19 pandemic, and thus some of the world wide details could only have been extrapolated.
Each chapter being from a different viewpoint, and the steady march of time, makes for a story that is mostly told in the silences. The chapters are in strict chronological order, but the time jumps aren't always clear. The regular viewpoint changes meant it felt at times more like a set of interlinked short stories than a novel, although over time though the linkages between the chapters brought clarity and multiple perspectives.
There were some repeated details that I found a little overworked. In particular, it seemed that if there were siblings, one was the responsible successful one, and the other one was a fuckup and a dissapointment to their parents. What I thought was a cute detail turned out to be signposting the Deus Ex Machina that annoyed me in the last chapter.
