Nathan Myhrvold: Tech’s Renaissance Man

In 'Saving Ourselves: From Climate Shocks to Climate Action,' Dana R. Fisher argues that effective climate action can only be achieved through mass mobilization and radical climate activism. The book assesses the current state of climate policy and private-sector efforts, highlighting their ineffectiveness. Fisher examines the emergence and growth of the radical flank of climate activism, its use of direct action, and its potential evolution as the climate crisis worsens. She emphasizes the importance of creating resilient communities, capitalizing on shocking moments, and cultivating resilience in climate activism. The book offers insights on how social movements can challenge deeply entrenched interests and create opportunities for systemic change.
