We Are the Weather

Every day we spent on Earth led to this moment. Technological progress, the industrial revolution, the rise of a consumer society—all of it caused climate changes that now threaten our lives. Through the lens of his own experience—and the vast experience of all humanity—Jonathan Safran Foer looks at the modern world and urges us to open our eyes alongside him.

“Weather Is Us” is a piercing, loud, autobiographical novel. It is as much about the individual as it is about people’s collective power. Because if our time on this planet caused consequences so terrifying, then all we need is to want— and one coordinated effort can become the first step toward eliminating them. Foer believes that saving the planet is within reach for each of us. What will we do for a better future?
