We live in a time of alarming and bewildering change: the breakup of the post-1945 global order, numerous species facing extinction, and perhaps the beginning of the end of civilization as we know it. Not one of us is innocent, not one of us is safe. Roy Scranton faces the unpleasant facts of our day with fierce insight and honesty. In his book 'We’re Doomed. Now What?' he addresses this time of crisis through a series of brilliant, moving, and original essays on climate change, war, literature, and loss, from one of the most provocative and iconoclastic minds of his generation.
Roy Scranton is an American writer of fiction, non-fiction, and poetry.
