'This is Bill McKibben at his glorious best. Wise and warning, with
everything on the line. Do not miss it' Naomi Klein, author of This
Changes Everything and The Shock Doctrine Thirty years ago, Bill
McKibben wrote The End of Nature, the first book that alerted us to
the dangers of climate change. Falter is a new call to arms, to
save not only our planet but our very souls as well. Over tens of
thousands of years, through the harnessing of nature, the
development of civilization, and the application of new
technologies, human beings have created the world we live in. But
as McKibben points out in this provocative and sobering look at the
world today, we are fast approaching a tipping point, putting into
question the viability of humanity itself. McKibben argues that we
have failed to recognize how individual actions often operated
against our collective interest, and as a result we now face three
daunting challenges - to adjust to a new life on a broken planet,
to fight the hyper-individualism that now animates government and
business; and to reverse the ways that technology is bleaching out
the variety of human existence. He asks if we still retain the
tools and social capital to fight these larger forces - and if we
are willing to make the effort.
