The Lost Cause by Cory Doctorow
Did not finish book. Stopped at 37%.
I think I might have started reading this at the wrong time - it's definitely an interesting take and something I'd have absolutely devoured when I was at uni. I agree with the author's politics but I might be a bit too tired politically for it at the moment, will probably try it again if things settle down in a few years. Would hugely recommend to anyone wanting a frank but hopeful look at the climate and right wing emergencies and how things could unfold.
Have to say I struggled with the concept of millennials largely being MAGA loons in 30 years time though - I suppose some would be but we've lived through so many "unprecedented times" I can't imagine us becoming so aggressive as a generation. We're too damn tired for that and we don't tend to be xenophobic climate change deniers either.
Definitely be ready to suspend disbelief in some parts and make sure you're not feeling too much despair at the state of the world before you go in if you read this one.
