The Ministry for the Future

This book gets filed under “books that changed how I see the world.” And I honestly think that the more people who read this, the better our odds of having a future worth fighting for.
It's not an easy read. It gets into the weeds about topics from sociology and glaciology to economics and monetary theory. In fact, at times it felt more like non-fiction than fiction. And the style this book is written in takes a little getting used to, but the effect it had was pretty undeniable for me.
To sum up the book in a sentence: Regarding climate change and global inequities, things are obviously going to get worse, but then they CAN get better - must get better - and it is possible using tools that already exist combined with a sufficient amount of collective will power and gulp bureaucracy!
And I believe it. The future of Earth doesn't have to be a drowning burning dystopia with capitalist rulers pitting poor people against each other in death games. My hypothetical grandkids MIGHT just live in a better world than I do. We just have to buckle down and make things like government and scientific advice mean something again.
Also, I want to visit Switzerland now...
