It's also the last generation able to do something about them. With time ticking down, 31-year-old journalist Geoff Dembicki journeyed to Silicon Valley, Canada's tar sands, Washington, DC, Wall Street and the Paris climate talks to find out if he should hope or despair. Millions of people his age want to radically change our world, and they are at the forefront of resistance to the politicians and CEOs steering our planet towards disaster. Dembicki gives a firsthand account of this movement through the stories of young people fighting for their survival. It begins with a student who abandons society to live in the rainforest and ends with a Muslim feminist fomenting a political revolution. We meet a Brooklyn artist terrifying the oil industry, a Norwegian scientist running across the melting Arctic and an indigenous filmmaker challenging the worldview of Mark Zuckerberg. A safer and more equitable future is more achievable than we've been led to believe. The biggest existential challenge of our era and the generation now battling against the odds to solve it. Canadian journalist Geoff Dembicki has contributed to the New York Times and the Tyee, the independent online publication where the idea for this book began as a series called "Are We Screwed?" He lives in Vancouver, British Columbia"--Provided by publisher.
