For over twenty years, Naomi Klein has been a leading voice in chronicling the economic war against both people and the planet, advocating for a comprehensive environmental agenda centered on justice. This collection brings together more than a decade of her passionate writing on climate change, alongside new insights into the critical choices we face. Through essays, reports, and lectures, Klein explores the climate crisis as not only a political challenge but also a spiritual and imaginative one. She addresses issues such as the conflict between ecological time and our culture of immediacy, the rise of white supremacy, and the concept of "climate barbarism." This work serves as a powerful call to action for a planet on the edge. Klein reports from diverse locations, including the deteriorating Great Barrier Reef, the smoke-filled skies of the Pacific Northwest, and post-hurricane Puerto Rico, while highlighting the Vatican's push for an 'ecological conversion.' She argues that addressing climate change requires a transformation of the systems that created it. This expansive exploration connects the fight for a sustainable world with the struggle for survival, emphasizing the urgent need for immediate change in the face of the climate crisis.
