"The Collapse of Western Civilization: A View from the Future" is a short book (more like an essay) of climate fiction written by two historians of science.
In an interview, one of the authors described it as "hopeful". I don't know what to say about that, but it mostly believable and somewhat optimistic.
It was written in 2014, you know, those optimistic times when the effects of climate change weren't felt strongly by the common person yet.
Amazon, Tesla, and Meta are the new ExxonMobile.
In the 90s and early 2000s, ExxonMobile and other Fossil Fuel companies spent billions to undermine science.
In the 2020s, tech companies are spending billions to undermine democracy.
All in the name of profits for an elite few.
We must support political efforts to stop billionaires from destroying our democracy. Our planet depends on it.
