This was a great, succinct, well written, well organized book in which a lot of information is stored and does a really good job presenting you with the numbers and facts while still mostly telling a narrative. Like any good book about environmentalism, it made me want to never buy anything again (which I'm already fairly good at) and cycle everywhere and eat only what imperfect produce drops off at my house (which I keep telling myself I'll subscribe to once I live in a city). It sort of left off the classic hopeful conclusions that tends to finish off these books, but maybe it's time these books don't have a hopeful conclusions and we all come to terms with the terrifying potential of what our futures look like.

Took off a star because of the little ad libs and funny quips, which, while they gave the book a sense of personal voice, sort of detracted from the point of presenting all the facts (like when joking that all of the screens we were watching "turns our brains to mush" while talking about the environmental impact of the internet, I thought that for people who weren't scientifically inclined and for whom this might be their first book on the subject matter, the kinds of people you especially want reading this book, it might be hard to figure out where the facts end and the jokes begin.) I feel like I didn't need the little puns and interludes throughout the book, but they weren't terrible.

Overall, everyone should read this, and start doing something when they can to be part of organizations that are fighting all this stuff rather than just expecting them to win without your help.
