Book description

It’s thirty years from now. We’re making progress, mitigating climate change, slowly but surely. But what about all the angry old people who can’t let go?

For young Americans a generation from now, climate change isn't controversial. It's just an overwhelming fact of life. And so are the great efforts…

When you buy books, we may earn a commission that helps keep the lights on. Or join the rebellion as a member.

Why read it?

1 author picked The Lost Cause as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This solarpunk novel takes an optimistic but clear-eyed view of a near future in which the disruptions of climate change cannot be ignored and authoritarians within the U.S. (and the protagonist's family) don't just magically go away. If you need to book to tell you how to keep going in hard times, this book may be for you.
