On Fire by Naomi Klein will make you mad, but it's also such an important read. It represents, in a way, a Zeitgeist of the 2010s: the rising rage of the climate movement that took a tumble when COVID hit. To see so many of the phenomena described herein have been exacerbated in the five years since the book's release is disheartening and slightly panic inducing. Still, this well-written compilation of essays is still highly relevant, and I recommend giving it a read. It is well researched, though a little heavy handed on the rhetoric, and definitely acted as a wake up call for me.
