All the Birds in the Sky by Charlie Anders

This is a very difficult book to describe – it takes place in the San Francisco Bay Area and is billed as a kind of war between nature loving witches and tech savvy hipsters – both trying to save the world from falling apart but with very different views of what the end state should look like and how to get there. A great extrapolation from the current bay area residents! The stars of both camps happened to be miserable together as complete outcasts during middle school and may be falling in love even as it all comes to a head. Full of surprises, interesting characters, and tugs of familiarity. I didn’t really enjoy the first few chapters which focussed on the middle school start but loved it once they grew up and had lives and the real (to me) story started. Definitely worth a read.
