**SUNDAY TIMES AND THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER** 'An epoch-defining book' Matt Haig. Selected as a Book of the Year 2019 by the Sunday Times, Spectator, and New Statesman. A Waterstones Paperback of the Year and shortlisted for the Foyles Book of the Year 2019. Longlisted for the PEN / E.O. Wilson Literary Science Writing Award. The narrative challenges the misconception that climate change is a slow process, revealing that the reality is far more dire. If your concerns are primarily about sea-level rise, you are overlooking the broader and more immediate threats that could impact today's youth. The term "Anthropocene" has gained traction, signifying an era marked by significant human impact on the planet. While it’s easy to acknowledge our environmental damage, it’s crucial to confront the idea that we may have inadvertently instigated a climate crisis that will wage war against us for centuries. This conflict is not just about survival; it will fundamentally alter our existence, transforming our world from one of potential abundance into a relentless nightmare. The book urges readers to recognize the urgency of the situation and the profound changes that lie ahead, reshaping every facet of life on Earth.
