Will be one of the most influential books of our time -- Owen
Jones
Klein is a brave and passionate writer who always deserves to be
heard, and this is a powerful and urgent book -- John Gray *
Observer *
Without a doubt one of the most important books of the decade --
Amitav Ghosh
Savages the idea that we will be saved by new technologies or by an
incremental shift away from fossil fuels... Her solution requires a
radical reconfiguration of our economic system * New York Times
*
Her task is to take a potential catastrophe of unimaginable reach
and to be calm and welcoming, drawing new people in. She does vast
amounts of travel and research and thinking, then crafts all of it
to the scale of her own voice: the voice of a pleasant, funny,
unthreatening-looking woman * Guardian *
I have devoured Naomi Klein's This Changes Everything, the
book the world has been waiting for. I urge everyone to read it
(especially politicians). It is her most prescient book yet and is
a much-needed call to arms as time runs out on climate change --
Cornelia Parker * Observer, Books of the Year *
It's no exaggeration to say This Changes Everything is the
most important book I've read all year - perhaps in a decade. Klein
sets out the scientific case for urgent action on climate change
and argues passionately that our only hope of combating its effects
is a revolution in our entire economic system. Crucially, she
manages to leave the reader with a degree of optimism -- Stephanie
Merritt * Observer, Books of the Year *
[T]he problems - climate change, plus everything that is changing
as a result, plus the increasing toxicity of the planet - can no
longer be denied. This is a conversation that needs to happen on a
large scale, and on a local scale, and on a personal scale, very
soon -- Margaret Atwood * Guardian, Books of the Year *
Captured the collective sense of anger and awakening ... [a]
frightening look at climate change and capitalism -- Matt Haig *
Observer, Books of the Year *
Naomi Klein applies her fine, fierce, and meticulous mind to the
greatest, most urgent questions of our times. . . I count her among
the most inspirational political thinkers in the world today --
Arundhati Roy, author of The God of Small Things and Capitalism: A
Ghost Story
A book of such ambition and consequence it is almost unreviewable
... The most momentous and contentious environmental book since
Silent Spring * New York Times Book Review *
Savages the idea that we will be saved by new technologies or by an
incremental shift away from fossil fuels... Her solution requires a
radical reconfiguration of our economic system * New York Times
*
The book has an uplifting message: that humans have changed before,
and can change again. It poses a gutsy challenge to those who are
vaguely hoping that the whole issue will go away, or that some new
technology will save us * Sunday Times *
This may be the first truly honest book ever written about climate
change * Time *
Her task is to take a potential catastrophe of unimaginable reach
and to be calm and welcoming, drawing new people in. She does vast
amounts of travel and research and thinking, then crafts all of it
to the scale of her own voice: the voice of a pleasant, funny,
unthreatening-looking woman * Guardian *
The proposition that the world's political and economic
institutions are preventing us from meeting the lethal challenge of
global warming is hardly novel. But Naomi Klein in her new book
articulates the case as forcefully and comprehensively as anyone
has yet managed * Independent *
Powerfully and uncompromisingly written, the impassioned polemic we
have come to expect from Klein, mixing first-hand accounts of
events around the world and withering political analysis . . . Her
stirring vision is nothing less than a political, economic, social,
cultural and moral make-over of the human world * New Scientist
*
Klein is one of the left's most influential figures and a prominent
climate champion. . . . [She] is a gifted writer and there is
little doubt about the problem she identifies * Financial Times
*
Gripping and dramatic . . . [Klein] writes of a decisive battle for
the fate of the earth in which we either take back control of the
planet from the capitalists who are destroying it or watch it all
burn * Rolling Stone *
An energetic exploration of issues surrounding climate change
vociferously advocates immediate, radical reforms... The
distinctiveness of the book resides... in its immersive reporting
(on "Blockadia" eco-movements and futuristic geoengineering
proposals) and in Klein's sheer outspokenness * New Yorker *
Klein has, with this book, thoroughly and completely debunked
everything promoted under the banner of conservatism today - and
she has done so with a work that's more powerful than a stack of
C4.
This Changes Everything deserves to be viewed not as one of
the greatest nonfiction works of the 2010s, but as one of the
greatest nonfiction works of all-time. ... This book will expand
and intensify the worldwide climate-justice movement, which is why
the rhetorical attacks on Klein will become ever more aggressive.
It will politically galvanize the young and the vulnerable, who
have so much to lose due to the climate crisis. It will create
climate leaders across this warming globe. This Changes
Everything: Capitalism vs. the Climate is not just a book, not
just a moment, not just a movement. It is a weapon of justice. It
is a path of survival
