If you are looking for a witty, sarcastic eco-thriller, Venomous Lumpsucker is the book for you. It highlights our current problems and lack of activism in the fight against global warming by introducing concepts seemingly lifted from a science-fiction novel. There are meat-hurling activists, data-centers filled with copies of dead peoples‘ brains and floating self-sustaining cities.
The book follows two strangers, both wanting to save the endangered fish species „venomous lumpsucker“, for their own selfish reasons. On the surface, Venomous Lumpsucker is about mass extinction and capitalism, but the novel is also about grief and emotional resonance. Our role in the deaths of millions of animals to the point of them never being able to exist again and entire ecosystems collapsing is highly emotional.
