The Collapse of Western Civilization: A View from the Future by Erik Conway, Naomi Oreskes

5.0

While this is fiction, a letter from a chastened future written by a regretful scholar, it is based on solid and modern science, and forms a candid appraisal of the deleterious effect of media, fear, and money on sound decision-making. A brief, ominous, well-crafted story you can read in one sitting. It's enjoyable as a good SF yarn, yet the outcome it describes, given world policy on anthropogenic climate change, is plausible and even likely.

Well, enjoy.
