Would I recommend this book? No, unless you are one like myself that simply reads/listens to everything published in the field for the sake facing new interpretations of facts, data and phenomena about ours unsustainable 'anthroposphere'.Feeding the world, climate change, biodiversity, antibiotics, plastics - the list of concerns seems endless. A bit childish and naive views on global politics, but I must admit that original and interesting. Ethics could be a bit personal thing, but suggesting euthanasia to make space for younger, productive people is just too much for me.
Another supporter of the long time ago debunked utopian concepts of standard/citizen/base income-call whatever you want (idea when everyone gets well paid, even when not working at all). Market, economy finance seems to be total abstraction to the author. the book would be better without the whole second half at all. some oversimplifications, but generally those topics are OK. nothing spectacular, no major conceptual mistakes. Acceptable, level of issues discussed in relation to energy, transportation and technology.

This book will shock you, surprise you, and then make you laugh. For the first time you'll find big-picture perspective on the environmental and economic challenges of the day laid out in one place, and traced through to the underlying roots - questions of how we live and think. There is No Planet B maps it out in an accessible and entertaining way, filled with astonishing facts and analysis. Feeding the world, climate change, biodiversity, antibiotics, and plastics - the list of concerns seems endless.īut what is most pressing, what are the knock-on effects of our actions, and what should we do first? Do we all need to become vegetarian? How can we fly in a low-carbon world? Should we frack? How can we take control of technology? Does it all come down to population? And, given the global nature of the challenges we now face, what on Earth can any of us do?įortunately, Mike Berners-Lee has crunched the numbers and plotted a course of action that is practical and even enjoyable.
