The Carbon Diaries 2015 by Saci Lloyd

informative reflective slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Plot

3.5

i read this entire book on my phone which was, in my humble opinion, the best decision i could've made. the only time i read it was during lunch breaks at work or like right now, a train ride home. 
this was so so good. you got the chance to experience life through our protagonists' eyes in form of diary entries throughout the entire year of 2015. the slow transformation of the consequences of climate change... from carbon rationing to no water(or too much water) to power outages to utter chaos and disaster was perfectly paced. it felt real. 
this could be our real world not so far into the future.
