Review:
This is a very well put together book on information regarding the negative impact human society has had and will undoubtedly continue to have on the planet and its delicate ecosystem if we are too late to do something about it.
I found some sections to be a lot more interesting than others. I loved the evolutionary stuff! It interested me so much that i watched about 5 hours worth of youtube content on the subject haha. I didn’t love the farming sections but nonetheless i think it had its place in the message this book was trying to get across.
People complaining that all this information could be found online or learned in school are silly because the same could probably be said for more than 90% of informative non-fiction literature if you did enough research.
The message this book sends out to the reader is a powerful one and should be shared.
