A meandering, rambling book with a goofy premise. I don’t disagree with many of the points (though some are cringey and lack nuance), but I’ve heard 90+% of this before, laid out much more neatly and effectively. Bonus star for the few things I had not heard about and that were interesting (although often not well tied back into the book’s thesis). I’m not sure this book is going to change anyone’s minds much, nor serve as a great call to action. People who care about these topics probably are already familiar with most of the book’s contents. For a book that purports be about what plants can teach us, most was human history (not his area of expertise) or facts about climate change.

Guida breve ed essenziale a come ripensare le società umane tenendo presente il mondo delle piante. Stimolante.

Loved the general premise and main points, though I think the arguments were loose or presumptive. Liked reading about lichens, though.

Hauska, nopealukuinen ajatuskoe siitä, miten ilmasto- ja luonnon monimuotoisuuskriisi voitaisiin taklata kasvien maailmanjärjestyksellä.

I'm marking this as read since I got like 75% of the way through. it's just so boring. the concept is great in theory, but the execution is lost in the pretentious writing. Maybe it's supposed to be like that on purpose and I just don't get it lol
