Review: THE TUSKS OF EXTINCTION

Review of Speculative Fiction on Deextinction

I adored this fantastic Speculative Fiction/SF novel! Simultaneously heartwrenching (elephant extinction, Ivory Trade) and heartwarming (rangers' dedication to protecting species, elephants' and mammoths ' emotional lives and capacity to relive not just memory fragments but entire chains of Memory), THE TUSKS OF EXTINCTION is an important entry in the literature of evolution, climate destruction, and consciousness, highlighting the immense capacity for human greed, and the equivalent capacity in humans for empathy.
