The Uninhabitable Earth: Life After Warming by David Wallace-Wells
5.0
I mean, holy god. What I want to say: “Everyone must read this book,” but that feels unfair because it’s so goddamn depressing and scary. Maybe that makes it more essential? I don’t know - it’s a whirlwind of a book. It is so clear, accessible, detailed, and chilling. Our earth is in so much unfathomable trouble. This book made me feel like an cardboard-wielding apocalypse crier in Washington Square Park. I would tell my friends, “Did you know Miami will be underwater by 2050, pretty much without a doubt?” This book made it hard to have friends. (Just kidding, mostly.)
“Cascades” is so freaking scary. “The Climate Kaleidoscope” is an unprecedentedly eye-opening set of essays, some of which changed my life. The first chapter of “The Climate Kaleidoscope” is called “Storytelling,” and it’s an essay that should be required reading for every creative writing, drama, film making, and entertainment student in America.
If you care about the earth and are ready to care abut the earth in a way more profound than you thought possible, read the hell out of this book. Read it as fast as you can.
