Thick, nourishing and sometimes hard to swallow, like bread.

A depressing novel that I would never read but school!

"I could fill a book with clues, places to start looking for those paths, yet no suggestion I make is likely to satisfy those looking for a plan for a highway. If the big path is paved by the planners, the converse of this is the absolute pessimism that tends to overcome these people when they let themselves consider the possibility that no plan will get us out of the trouble we are in."

That's it. That's the tweet and the book. We have to make up our minds ourselves first and move outward into a collective, if at all possible.

I really enjoyed the start of the book and found the new take on climate change to be refreshing. However, he often gets caught in lofty metaphors and language which distracts from the point he is making. And those points are repeated a lot in the second part of the book. I wanted a more clear answer at the end, or at least more of a description of what the small path worth taking looks like.
