In this profoundly human and moving narrative, the bestselling author
of The World Without Us returns with a book ten years in the making: a
study of the precarious state of our planet and what it means to be a
human on the front lines of this existential crisis. His new uplifting
book, Hope Dies Last, is a literary evocation of our current
predicament and the core optimism of the human species against the
worst odds we have ever faced.
To write this book, Weisman has travelled the globe witnessing the
devastation of climate change and meeting the people striving to
mitigate and undo our past transgressions. From the flooding Marshall
Islands to wetlands renewal in Iraq, and from the Netherlands to the
Korean DMZ to cities and coastlines around the world, he has witnessed
personally the best of humanity battling the heat, the hunger, and the
rising tides. He profiles the work of big thinkers—engineers,
scientists, economists, and psychiatrists—as they devise innovative and
wildly creative responses to an uncertain and frightening future. We
are at an unprecedented point in history, as our collective exploits on
this planet are leading us to our own undoing, and we could be one of
the species marching toward extinction.
A remedy to climate anxiety by one of our most important voices on
humans’ relationship with the Earth, Hope Dies Last fills a crucial gap
in the global conversation: Now that we have passed the point of no
return in our battle against climate change, how do we feel, behave,
act, plan, and dream as we approach a future decidedly different from
what we had expected?
