FALTER Has the Human Game Begun to Play Itself Out?

by | Read by Oliver Wyman, Bill McKibben [Intro.]

Contemporary Culture • 10.5 hrs. • Unabridged • © 2019

Narrator Oliver Wyman has the difficult task of engaging listeners with this audiobook's grim tidings on climate change and pending social collapse. The sobering introduction, read by the author, renowned environmentalist Bill McKibben, warns listeners not to expect unwarranted hope. While McKibben is cautiously optimistic about renewable energy and the power of the people, Wyman must deliver a barrage of frightening and scientifically sound scenarios. Yet his skillful, nuanced performance is enough to keep listeners from tossing their earbuds aside in despair. Wyman spotlights sporadic moments of humor and hope and channels McKibben's withering rage toward the powerful few who suppress climate action in favor of personal wealth. This isn't easy listening, but it's essential for anyone concerned about humanity's future. A.T.N. © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine [Published: APRIL 2019]
