We're Doomed. Now What? by Roy Scranton
An American Orwell for the age of Trump, Roy Scranton faces the unpleasant facts of our day with fierce insight and honesty. We're Doomed. Now What? penetrates to the very heart of our time.Our moment is one of alarming and bewildering change-the breakup of the post-1945 global order, a multispecies mass extinction, and the beginning of the end of civilization as we know it. Not one of us is innocent, not one of us is safe. Now what?
We're Doomed. Now What?addresses the crisis that is our time through a series of brilliant, moving, and original essays on climate change, war, literature, and loss, from one of the most provocative and iconoclastic minds of his generation. Whether writing about sailing through the melting Arctic, preparing for Houston's next big storm, watching Star Wars, or going back to the streets of Baghdad he once patrolled as a soldier, Roy Scranton handles his subjects with the same electric, philosophical, demotic touch that he brought to his groundbreakingNew York Timesessay, "Learning How to Die in the Anthropocene."
Roy Scranton is a war veteran, journalist, and novelist who has written for the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Rolling Stone, Boston Review, and Theory and Event, among other publications, and has been interviewed on NPR's Fresh Air.
