Learning to Die in the Anthropocene: Reflections on the End of a Civilization by Roy Scranton

4.0

While I had to re-read the classical philosophy sections a few times to grasp the arguments, I love the general sentiment of the book. It could be viewed as pessimistic, but that's just because our society is so repulsed by death. Our fate as humans is already determined (what begins must end), so we can stop worrying about survival. Capitalism has already killed us. This is not "just another book about climate change," it's a philosophical reframe of how to think about the truth.
