b#1 iNEW YORK TIMES/i BESTSELLER iThe Uninhabitable Earth/i hits you like a comet, with an overflow of insanely lyrical prose about our pending Armageddon. Andrew Solomon, author of iThe Noonday Demon/i/bbrbrbbNAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY iThe New Yorker /i i The New York Times Book Review /i  iTime /i NPR  iThe Economist /i iThe Paris Review/i  iToronto Star  /i  iGQ/i   iThe Times Literary Supplement/i  The New York Public Library   iKirkus Reviews/i/bbr/bbrIt is worse, much worse, than you think. If your anxiety about global warming is dominated by fears of sea-level rise, you are barely scratching the surface of what terrors are possible food shortages, refugee emergencies, climate wars and economic devastation.brbr An epoch-defining book (iThe/i iGuardian/i) and this generation s iSilent Spring/i (iThe Washington Post/i), iThe Uninhabitable Earth/i is both a travelogue of the near future and a meditation on how that future will look to those living through it the ways that warming promises to transform global politics, the meaning of technology and nature in the modern world, the sustainability of capitalism and the trajectory of human progress.brbr iThe Uninhabitable Earth/i is also an impassioned call to action. For just as the world was brought to the brink of catastrophe within the span of a lifetime, the responsibility to avoid it now belongs to a single generation today s.brbrbLONGLISTED FOR THE PEN/E.O. WILSON LITERARY SCIENCE WRITING AWARD/bbrbri The Uninhabitable Earth/i is the most terrifying book I have ever read. Its subject is climate change, and its method is scientific, but its mode is Old Testament. The book is a meticulously documented, white-knuckled tour through the cascading catastrophes that will soon engulf our warming planet. b Farhad Manjoo, iThe New York Times/i/bibbr/b/ibr Riveting. . . . Some readers will find Mr. Wallace-Wells s outline of possible futures alarmist. He is indeed alarmed. You should be, too. b /bibThe Economist/b/ibrbr Potent and evocative. . . . Wallace-Wells has resolved to offer something other than the standard narrative of climate change. . . . He avoids the eerily banal language of climatology in favor of lush, rolling prose. b Jennifer Szalai, iThe New York Times/i/bbrbr The book has potential to be this generation s iSilent Spring/i. ib The Washington Post/b/ibrbr iThe Uninhabitable Earth,/i which has become a best seller, taps into the underlying emotion of the day: fear. . . . I encourage people to read this book. b Alan Weisman, iThe New York Review of Books/i/b
