Why Rebel

About this book

Why rebel?

Because our footprint on the Earth has never mattered more than now. How we treat it, in the spirit of gift or of theft, has never been more important. Because we need a politics of kindness, but instead libertarian fascism is on the rise. Because nature is not a hobby. It is the life on which we depend, as Indigenous societies have never forgotten. From the author of Wild, this passionate, poetic manifesto for urgent rebellion against our imminent extinction is also a paean to the deep and extraordinary beauty of the natural world.
