This book has such a complex take on climate exploitation. From video games to arson, The Overstory makes you question your relationship to nature, and how far you would go to protect it. Or, in that case, whether you can successfully protect it at all. This book is a seething take on capitalism and the climate abuse operating on federal levels.
