Why read it?
1 author picked Learning to Die in the Anthropocene as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Scranton is polarizing because he wallows in doom and flirts with an unpleasant form of nihilism. But even so, he provides an honest, sometimes searing introduction to the big troubles we are facing today—and he does so at the right level of analysis, our entire civilization.

From Todd's list on how bad climate change is for life on Earth.
