IF THIS YEAR has a zeitgeist, it’s collapse — of ecosystems, government
norms, pandemic preparedness, and quite a few minds. That process has,
of course, been coming on for decades, with plenty of writers racing to
unravel it, from Bill McKibben picking up where Rachel Carson left off,
to Elizabeth Kolbert and David Wallace-Wells.
But these Cassandras have generally been stronger on analyzing the
turmoil than showing us how to make our way through it — and we’ve long
been in need of a map. With 100 degree Fahrenheit temperatures now
hitting the Arctic Circle, “mask rage” and worse erupting across the
United States, and the near future radioactive with uncertainty, we
have, it seems, reached the end of a road. As if on cue, two exceptional
books have arrived to wrangle with the implications: Ben
Ehrenreich’s/Desert Notebooks: A Road Map for the End of Time/and
Bradley Garrett’s/Bunker: Building for the End Times/.
