Climate change is not only about the exhaustion of the planet, it’s
about the exhaustion of so many of us, our lives, our worlds, even
our minds. So, what is to be done?
To answer this
question, Ajay Singh Chaudhary brings together both the science and
the politics of climate change. He shows how a new politics
particular to the climate catastrophe demands a bitter struggle
between those attached to the power, wealth, and security of
“business-as-usual” and all of us, those exhausted, in every
sense of the word, by the status quo.
Replacing
Promethean, romantic, and apocalyptic fairytales with a new story for
every exhausted inhabitant of this exhausted world, The Exhausted
of the Earth outlines the politics and the power needed to alter
the course of our burning world far beyond, far better than, mere
survival.
