The Nature of Tomorrow: A History of the Environmental Future by Michael Rawson
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 3.5 MB
Overview: An examination of how Western visions of endless future growth have contributed to the global environmental crisis
For centuries, the West has produced stories about the future in which humans use advanced science and technology to transform the earth. Michael Rawson uses a wide range of works that include Francis Bacon’s New Atlantis, the science fiction novels of Jules Verne, and even the speculations of think tanks like the RAND Corporation to reveal the environmental paradox at the heart of these narratives: the single-minded expectation of unlimited growth on a finite planet.
