This book is widely praised for being intriguing, inspiring, and full of valuable insights. Readers found it super fascinating, offering a unique and positive futurist perspective that manages to be both humorous and hopeful, while also acknowledging serious challenges. It is seen as a rich resource for academic exploration, citing numerous works and thinkers, and capable of inspiring new avenues of thought and research, particularly in environmental and sustainability studies. The discussion around ecological literacy is highlighted as particularly impactful, with potential to influence readers' academic and career directions.
However, some readers found significant drawbacks. A common criticism is that the book, particularly in its latter half, can devolve into what some perceive as stereotypical environmentalist rants, including what one reviewer described as incoherent arguments on certain topics. This shift in tone or focus led at least one reader to stop reading entirely. Another reviewer characterized the book's approach as a muddled, bourgeois vision for green activism.
Overall, the book appears to be a thought-provoking work that deeply resonates with some readers, offering profound insights and inspiration, while others are put off by its perceived stylistic or argumentative shortcomings. It seems best suited for readers interested in environmentalism, sustainability, and ecological literacy who appreciate a broad, academic-leaning discussion and are open to diverse perspectives, even if they sometimes challenge conventional views. Those looking for a consistently positive or purely objective scientific approach might find some sections less appealing.
