Our planet today is clearly in a critical situation: we are witnessing changes at every level (economic, social and environmental), anticipating a world that is deeply different from the one we know. This makes it easy to be fascinated by dystopian and catastrophic visions. But does it really have to end like this? Are we condemned to simply cling helplessly to survival and submit to the flood of disastrous news? In this book, Servigne, Stevens and Chapelle argue that an awareness of the collapse of thermo-industrial society does not exclude the possibility of projecting one’s gaze beyond the gloomy horizon approaching, pointing instead to new goals, both viable and necessary.
