A bleak read. I was put off by his smugness—he criticizes climate activists from the sidelines. But the author redeems himself in the final chapters with his call to save and rely on what literature and philosophers have taught us as our species makes a life after the climatic collapse ahead.

Even sometimes I'm worried what I'm reading ?
This book, however, is for a class titled "The Afterlife of Things" and fit really well with the subjects we are talking about. Not terribly long, but an interesting view on many of the apocalyptic things that can happen to humanity as well as how this is seen in art today (literature, movies, etc).
