The Age of Earthquakes: A Guide to the Extreme Present by Hans Ulrich Obrist, Shumon Basar, Douglas Coupland

3.0

I received this book through the First Reads program. Coupland, along with Hans Ulrich Obrist and Shumon Basar, have created a fun, though-provoking look at what we have done, and are doing to both ourselves and our planet. It doesn't across as preachy, but the message is pointed - charging headlong into the future without any thought has and will cause unexpected problems.

The book flowed along nicely, even with the almost non-stop changes in format and presentation on each page. I think the only parts that were a bit difficult were a couple of sections where the font is so tiny, at least to my weak eyes, that it took a bit effort to decipher.
