Eh? Eh. There were some factual errors right off the bat that had me suspicious for the entire rest of the book (he gave world population in the year 0 (I know, he clearly did not) as 10 million, never mind that this was closer to the population of Italy in the year 1), but mostly it’s just…eh.

Hurricane Lizards and Plastic Squid was both better written and more informative about the state of the world & the near future. Dunn makes the occasional attempt to remember that this will primarily impact the global south while being driven by a very small percentage of the world population, but is uh…limited in that this book, by its nature (ie, English, published in the US) is primarily going to be read by those people driving climate change, ie, he could’ve been meaner.

Also in the intro he writes like the book is going to be structured around laws of ecology, and to some degree it is, but also it isn’t, and it’s not at all clear what those laws are.
