World Without End
by Jean-Marc Jancovici, Christophe Blain
challenging
hopeful
informative
medium-paced
Wow. This French graphic novel packed one hell of a punch. Created in partnership with Engineer and expert Jean-Marc Janovici and artist Christophe Blain and recently released in English for the first time this June, World Without End is a detailed look at Energy (and it’s systems) and how these forces impact our economy, population growth, and our environment presented in a clear, easy to digest format.
While this was a very comprehensible read, the content is dense and I found the need to take breaks to process some of the content to ensure I absorbed it properly. It was also refreshing, as an American reader, to take in more non English based content from experts in the field.
The creators did try to leave readers on a positive “we can still adjust our path of humanity as a whole is willing to make some compromises” vibe. Unfortunately for me, the last few years have so severely eroded my faith in the collective humanity of the world that I ended this book feeling pretty helpless honestly. THAT SAID I absolutely recommend this book to anyone wanting to dig into these subject and looking for a well researched and easily understood place to start.
