As the World Burns
As the World Burns: 50 Simple Things You Can Do to Stay in Denial-A Graphic Novel | Stephanie McMillan, Derrick Jensen
7 posts | 5 read | 2 to read
Two of America's most talented activists team up to deliver a bold and hilarious satire of modern environmental policy in this fully illustrated graphic novel. The U.S. government gives robot machines from space permission to eat the earth in exchange for bricks of gold. A one-eyed bunny rescues his friends from a corporate animal-testing laboratory. And two little girls figure out the secret to saving the world from both of its enemies (and it isn't by using energy-efficient light bulbs or biodiesel fuel). As the World Burns will inspire you to do whatever it takes to stop ecocide before its too late.

In contrast to much of Jensen's writing, this book is a bit more playful, albeit sprinkled with dark sarcasm. It's a satirical glimpse into the minds of those who control the levers of industrial capitalism and a hopeful story of how those who can remember what it means to be wild can defeat the cynical death urge of those that wish to consume the planet all in the pursuit of profits.

A depressing look at environmental issues and how all of the things we do because we think they'll save the world fall sadly short.

Ok, so this book is very acute regarding media, corporate pollution, and political shenanigans (i.e. Corruption). However, the main takeaway seems to be we should all go back to being hunter gatherers...don't see that happening, but good luck. Worth a read.
