description: #1 New York Times and internationally bestselling author Naomi Klein makes the case for a Green New Deal in this keenly argued well-researched and impassioned manifesto (The Washington Post).An instant bestseller On Fire shows Klein at her most prophetic and philosophical investigating the climate crisis not only as a profound political challenge but also as a spiritual and imaginative one. Delving into topics ranging from the clash between ecological time and our culture of perpetual now to the soaring history of humans changing and evolving rapidly in the face of grave threats to rising white supremacy and fortressed borders as a form of climate barbarism this is a rousing call to action for a planet on the brink. An expansive far-ranging exploration that sees the battle for a greener world as indistinguishable from the fight for our lives On Fire captures the burning urgency of the climate crisis as well as the fiery energy of a rising political movement demanding a catalytic Green New Deal. Naomi Kleins work has always moved and guided me. She is the great chronicler of our age of climate emergency an inspirer of generations.
