About this listen
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 Klein’s work has always moved and guided me. She is the great chronicler of our age of climate emergency, an inspirer of generations.” —Greta Thunberg, climate activist
"If I were a rich man, I’d buy 245 million copies of Naomi Klein’s 'On Fire' and hand-deliver them to every eligible voter in America…Klein is a skilled writer." —Jeff Goodell, The New York Times
Critic Reviews
"Naomi Klein's collection of previously published articles on climate change is likely to divide listeners along political lines, but that's a shame. Perhaps Rebecca Lowman's evenhanded narration will go some way toward widening the audience for Klein's work. Lowman manages to capture the edge and the urgency of the author's voice without ever being cloying. Klein's plea for action on climate change stretches beyond reducing the use of fossil fuels and includes unabashedly left-leaning calls for income equality and improved access to healthcare and postsecondary education. These ideas are backed up with thoughtful and practical arguments about how and why they must be part of the bigger plan to cool our planet. Lowman's narration makes them sound even more palatable."
