The Lost Cause

Autor Cory Doctorow
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 sep 2024
Thirty years from now and the effects of climate change are overwhelming the planet - but so are the global efforts to combat it.

For young Americans a generation from now, climate change isn't controversial, it's a fact of life.
But there are still those Americans who cling to their red trucker caps, their anger, their nostalgia for the golden age of assault rifles. Their 'alternative' news sources reassure them their resentment is right and pure and 'climate change' is a con.

They're your grandfather, your uncle, your great-aunt. They're not going anywhere. And they're armed to the teeth.

Recenzii

Completely delightful...Neither utopian nor dystopian, it portrays life in SoCal in a future woven from our successes (Green New Deal!), failures (climate chaos anyway), and unresolved conflicts (old MAGA dudes). I loved it.
An urgent call to action. It is rare to read realistic depictions of climate disaster that inspire hope rather than despair, but this lively work of cli-fi does
This chronicle of mutual aid is politically perceptive, scientifically sound, and extraordinarily hopeful even amidst the smoke. Forget the Silicon Valley bros - these are the California techsters we need rebuilding our world, one solar panel and prefab insulated wall at a time.
Offering a deeply political take on the future... As with the latter work of Kim Stanley Robinson, this is a novel that not only deftly asks how we can build a better world, but sketches out how we might do so
This book looks like our future and feels like our present - it's an unforgettable vision of what could be. Even a partly good future will require wicked political battles and steadfast solidarity among those fighting for a better world, and here I lived it along with Brooks, Ana Lucía, Phuong, and their comrades in the struggle. Along with the rush of adrenaline I felt a solid surge of hope. May it go like this.
Simultaneously hopeful and nihilistic. [A] horrifyingly plausible vision of the route to the future
The always-excellent Doctorow's new novel is set a generation from now, when climate change is a fact of life.as ever, Doctorow takes an intriguing approach
There is a passion in Doctorow's writing that you cannot help but be swept away by... thought provoking
[Doctorow is] an excellent communicator of what is possible and we need voices like his, if we going to avoid being sucked into an abyss ruled by corporate overlords
Invites readers to ponder the complexities of bridging the gap between generations and finding common ground in the face of a global crisis
A thought-provoking and engaging read, enlivened by Doctorow's satirical wit. if you want hope and enthusiasm despite the problems currently besetting the world, then read this novel
