My Choice
Out of the 3 titles, the non-fiction option was the least appealing but I really wanted to challenge myself and step out of my comfort zone.
The Uninhabitable Earth - A Story of The Future by David Wallace-Wells provides a disturbing picture of the many ways in which global warming will transform every aspect of life on the planet — changes, according to Wallace-Wells, likely to lead to untold human suffering and quite possibly the extinction of our species. As he frames what follows in the first line of the book, "it is worse, much worse, than you think."
Climate change is everyone's problem, in that almost everyone will be impacted. As he writes, "there is no single way to best tell the story of climate change….Any story that sticks is a good one."
