Humanity Just Went Around the Moon
NASA’s Artemis II marks humanity’s return beyond low Earth orbit—695,000 miles around the Moon—showcasing innovation, precision, and a renewed spirit of exploration.

Written as a portrayal of the future of humanity that is coping with the devastating effects of global warming, this book doles out a large dose of reality by describing our possible future in terms of what our daily lives might look like. While guiding us through how we might make sense of such a crisis, Wallace-Wells ends the book by suggesting we find empowerment in our ability to contemplate and act upon what might otherwise be the demise of our existence.
