I'm With the Bears: Short Stories from a Damaged Planet

The size and severity of the global climate crisis is such that even the most committed environmentalists can drift into a state of denial. The award-winning writers collected here have made it their task to shake off this nagging disbelief, bringing the incomprehensible within our grasp and shaping an emotional response to mankind s unwitting creation of a tough new planet. From T. C. Boyle s account of early eco-activists, to Nathaniel Rich s comic fantasy about a marine biologist haunted by his youth, and David Mitchell s vision of a near future where oil sells for $800 a barrel these ten provocative, occasionally chilling, sometimes satirical stories bring a human reality to disasters of inhuman proportions.
