Book Overview:
"Roy Scranton lucidly articulates the depth of the climate crisis with an honesty that is all too rare, then calls
for a reimagined humanism that will help us meet our stormy future with as much decency as we can muster.
While I don't share his conclusions about the potential for social movements to drive ambitious mitigation, this
is a wise and important challenge from an elegant writer and original thinker. A critical
intervention."--Naomi Klein, author of This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. the Climate
Coming home from the war in Iraq, US Army private Roy Scranton thought he'd left the world of strife behind.
Then he watched as new calamities struck America, heralding a threat far more dangerous than ISIS or Al
Qaeda: Hurricane Katrina, Superstorm Sandy, megadrought--the shock and awe of global warming.
Our world is changing. Rising seas, spiking temperatures, and extreme weather imperil global infrastructure,
crops, and water supplies. Conflict, famine, plagues, and riots menace from every quarter. From war-stricken
Baghdad to the melting Arctic, human-caused climate change poses a danger not only to political and
economic stability, but to civilization itself . . . and to what it means to be human. Our greatest enemy, it turns
out, is ourselves. The warmer, wetter, more chaotic world we now live in--the Anthropocene--demands a
radical new vision of human life.
In this bracing response to climate change, Roy Scranton combines memoir, reportage, philosophy, and Zen
wisdom to explore what it means to be human in a rapidly evolving world, taking readers on a journey
through street protests, the latest findings of earth scientists, a historic UN summit, millennia of geological
history, and the persistent vitality of ancient literature. Expanding on his influential New York Times essay
(the #1 most-emailed article the day it appeared, and selected for Best American Science and Nature Writing
2014), Scranton responds to the existential problem of global warming by arguing that in order to survive, we
must come to terms with death.
Plato argued that to philosophize is to learn to die. If thats true, says Scranton, then we have entered
humanitys most philosophical ageor this is precisely the problem of the Anthropocene. The trouble
now is that we must learn to die not as individuals, but as a civilization.
A war veteran, journalist, author, and Princeton PhD candidate, Roy Scranton has published in the New
York Times, Wall Street Journal, Rolling Stone, Boston Review, and Theory and Event, and has been
interviewed on NPR's Fresh Air, among other media.
<u>More praise for Learning to Die in the Anthropocene:</u>

"Perhaps it is because he is a soldier, perhaps it is because he is a literate human being, but the fact is--Roy
Scranton gets it. He knows in his bones that this civilization is over. He knows it is high time to start again the
human dance of making some other way to live. In his distinctive and original way he works though a common
cultural inheritance, making it something fresh and new for these all too interesting times. This compressed,
essential text offers both uncomfortable truths and unexpected joy."--McKenzie Wark, author of Molecular
Red: Theory for the Anthropocene
This book is one of best seller books in the world. Many of people very interesting to read this book.
So, your life will be regret if you never read this book on your life.
