Reflection The Collapse of Western Civilization

Calliope's picture

This book was a less subtle reminder that our environment and its resources will not last forever and that without humans doing their part, we will continue to hurt nature. Compared to All Over Creation, The Collapse of Western Civilization is very direct about issues regarding the environment. I think the setting of the book really allows for some reflection because it is possible to see what we in 2016 did to cause this outcome. It was disheartening to read after watching the election last night.
