Fiction or Non-Fiction, academic or casual, theory or non-theory, feel free to mention books of any genre and on any topic.
Iβm reading Capitalism in the Anthropocene from John Bellamy Foster. Finished with Part 1, and man is this shit grim.
Heβs pretty much going on about how climate change is just 1 of many planetary boundaries we should be wary of crossing. The book also goes into how capitalism and the growth initiative are 100% contradictory to active steps to avoid a climate catastrophe. Anything other than a complete revolution of the mode of production or a miracle breakthrough in some ground-breaking technology spells the end of humanity in less than 100 years. Easy to fall into doomerism, but honestly this book is making the ounus of organizing and politically agitating more urgent.
