The Ministry for the Future by Kim Stanley Robinson

I am daily more convinced that the solution to the climate crisis is changing people’s minds. And the answer to this lies not in facts and figures but in storytelling – it’s very difficult for human beings to change our behaviour and we won’t do it of our own accord unless we are emotionally invested in some way.

This book tells the story of a future shaped by climate change. Individual stories are compellingly interwoven, along with contrasting strands of hope and horror. Horror at the all too plausible human consequences of an overheating planet, hope because the practical reality of implementing substantial change is set out just as plausibly.

Read this book and then pass it on to someone who needs to read it more.
