An expansion of Wallace-Wells’ viral 2017 essay, this book assembles scientific projections about climate change into a single, continuous argument.

Rather than focusing on polar bears or distant abstractions, it traces how warming reshapes systems. It hones in on food production, migration, conflict, disease, infrastructure. The tone is direct, sometimes deliberately confronting, built on research drawn from climate science rather than speculative dystopia.

What distinguishes the book is its refusal to isolate climate as an environmental issue alone. Wallace-Wells situates it within economics, politics and inequality, arguing that the crisis is structural rather than seasonal. 

For readers interested in contemporary climate discourse, environmental policy, and nonfiction that translates scientific modelling into civic urgency without turning to apocalyptic fiction.

A very well read and loved copy re: the cover and a few dog eared pages, hence the ticket price. A perfectly good reading copy otherwise, it's what's inside that counts.
