2021 review - Books & Audiobooks

I tend to read non-fiction as I feel as I am learning new things, but it is true that the one book I couldn't put down was a fiction one.


Fiction

šŸŖ Project Hail Mary: 5ā­ļø I loved ā€˜The Martianā€™, I thought this one was better.

šŸŒ” Artemis: 3ā­ļø Something weird about this one, not bad just not his best.

šŸ§ŽšŸ¼ā€ā™€ļøThe Testaments: 5ā­ļø I read the first one and this one right after and I loved it.


Cli-Fi

šŸ„µ The Ministry for the Future: 4ā­ļø Set in the near future, it tells a story of a society reducing emissions with elements of horror fiction, as climate change threatens the characters.


Non-Fiction

šŸŒ³ Being the Change: Live Well and Spark a Climate Revolution: 5ā­ļø A book written from the perspective of a meditating NASA climate scientist who has nearly eliminated his own emissions and found it satisfying

āš”ļø The New Map: Energy, Climate, and the Clash of Nations: 5ā­ļø My first global politics book, on energy revolutions, climate battles, and geopolitics that are mapping our future, such as the American shale revolution or South China Sea.

šŸ­ The Good Ancestor: How to Think Long Term in a Short-Term World: 5ā­ļø I loved this book. Acorn thinking or marshmallow brains? In an age driven by the tyranny of the now, with 24/7 news, the latest tweet, and the buy-now button commanding our attention, we rarely stop to consider how our actions will affect future generations.

šŸ“š Don't Even Think About It: Why Our Brains Are Wired to Ignore Climate Change: 5ā­ļø short easy to read climate change communication science chapters.

šŸ’µ How to Avoid a Climate Disaster: The Solutions We Have and the Breakthroughs: 4ā­ļø He explains the climate change science and facts pretty easily.

šŸ• The Joyful Environmentalist: 5ā­ļø A feel-good book.

šŸ“ˆ A New Reality: Human Evolution for a Sustainable Future: 5ā­ļø Short book, showing the changes in human values shifting from unlimited availability of resources to those based on limits and cooperation and long-term.


Audiobooks

The New Climate War 5ā­ļø

Net Zero 4ā­ļø

What We Need to Do Now 4ā­ļø
