Ministerstvo pro budoucnost – Robinson Kim Stanley (2024)

What has to happen for us to change? ***** A book that Barack Obama included in his list of favorite books of 2020. ***** In 2025, when it is already clear that the world powers cannot meet their ecological commitments, an organization called the Ministry for the Future is established. Its task is relatively simple: to advocate for the interests of future generations and to protect all living beings of the present and future. Its role takes on a new dimension when a deadly heatwave strikes India, the far-reaching consequences of which compel humanity to unite and act... ***** The book Ministry for the Future, narrated exclusively through fictional eyewitness accounts, is a masterpiece of imagination, a story about how climate change will affect us all in the coming decades. Its setting is not a desolate post-apocalyptic world, but a future that is almost upon us – in which we may just overcome the extraordinary challenges we face. It is an immediate and impactful novel, as desperate as it is full of hope, and it is one of the strongest and most original books on climate change ever written.
