At Work in the Ruins Finding Our Place in the Time of Science, Climate Change, Pandemics and All the Other Emergencies
Reviews

Read this (only 200 pages!) in an afternoon, laid-up with a sore ankle. I've read Hine's stuff before, including Dark Mountain, have attended an online event he ran, and used to subscribe to his newsletter.
Hes a nuanced individual, and this is a nuanced book. It covers climate, COVID, death, and much more. What I took away from it was the following:
The metaphor of the 'fish tank' which some people, who see themselves as 'the adults in the room' want us to believe is the best way of solving big problems.
Science is not one thing but many things, and we need views of the world to help balance a purely rationalist, numbers-based approach based.
There's a series of 'small paths' which Hine encourages us to take which stand in opposition to the dominant view of modernity.
I think he does a good job of not saying he's an anarchist. But that's what all this is rooted in, and I think it's absolutely the right approach to the future. Well worth a read, no matter what your politics might be.
