xyhhx reviewed Lifehouse by Adam Greenfield
We are living through a long emergency - a near-continuous train of pandemics, heatwaves, droughts, …
It started strong, emphasizing the gravity of the situation Adam describes as "the Long Emergency", which is to say imminent climate and societal collapse. He describes first and second hand accounts of grassroots efforts of communities to sustain themselves in the face of disaster, despite the system failing them.
The second and third chapters felt like a long string of references that, to me, felt a bit drawn out; but I guess painted a picture.
The last chapter felt more succinct, talking about what all of the preceding information meant for us today and the near future. It was very quotable, as you might've noticed by me quoting it three times today 😅
The conclusion was also nice and hopeful
