The weather is us

Every day we have spent on Earth has led up to this moment. Technological progress, the industrial revolution, the emergence of a consumer society - all of this has caused climate change that now threatens our lives. Through the prism of his own experience - and the vast experience of all of humanity - Jonathan Safran Foer looks at the modern world and encourages us to open our eyes along with him. "Weather is Us" is a piercing, loud, autobiographical novel. It is as much about the individual as it is about the collective power of people. After all, if our presence has caused such terrible consequences, then we only have to wish - and one concerted effort will become a step towards their elimination. Foer is sure that each of us can save the planet. What will we do for a better future?
