Hummingbird Salamander is a 2021 novel by American author Jeff VanderMeer. It is set in a near-future dystopia affected by climate change, and narrated by a corporate security consultant, "Jane Smith," who is drawn into a mystery incited by her receipt of a taxidermied hummingbird from an extinct species.[1]
Reception
[edit]Writer Noah Berlatsky said the novel "features ecoterrorists, evil corporations, a race to defuse doomsday weapons, gunfire, fisticuffs, action sequences and hair-raising escapes... VanderMeer introduces all this genre fun mostly to subvert it".[1] In a review published by the New York Times, author Helen Phillips called the novel "climate fiction at its most urgent and gripping".[2]
