Fossil Capital: The Rise of Steam Power and the Roots of Global Warming by Andreas Malm

4.0

I had to read a large portion of this book for a college writing class that focused on Climate Change as its main concentration and not gonna lie, this book was both fantastic and confusing. It's definitely one of the denser and more technical books I have read in this course, but well worth the struggle. Malm provides substantial analysis on climate change and how humans aren't really the source of it, but the capitalistic society (and fossil fuel economy) that our global economy appears to depend on in the status quo.

Probably closer to 4.5 stars, but I personally found one of Malm's shorter essays (not sure if he has a book published on it) called China, Chimney of the World
