Review of 'House Between Earth and the Moon' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

3.5 rounded up to 4. I’m not sure the two parts of this story - new technology breaking privacy norms for the supposed betterment of humanity and the worst case scenario escape plan for billionaires from a dying planet that is slowly killing off the human population with extreme climate events - work together. Both stories explore interesting ideas, and having one or the other would have made for a good book. Together they feel at odds, fighting against each other for page time. There are moments where they cross, mostly with the overall discussion of what amounts to the inevitability of failure. If that had been more of a focus, this could have been a truly brilliant book. As it is, it ends up not actually saying anything of substance, despite the potential to do so.
