This Isn't Fine: The Cultural Shift We Need to Save Humanity from the Dumpster Fire We Started

by Taylor Ahlstrom, Nate Hagens (Introduction)

Overview

Jam-packed with charts, graphs, and hilarious memes, This Isn't Fine is a surprisingly funny and accessible ride through a world on the brink of collapse—and what we can do to survive it. Diving headfirst into finance and energy, culture and ecology, Ahlstrom transforms the complex systems and histories that underpin our society into relatable narratives, all while mythbusting popular delusions on everything from free-market capitalism to electric cars.



This is not a book about the end of the world. This is a book about how we can save it. And it's a must-read for any human on planet earth.
