Story
A heart-stopping story of love, death, technology, and art set amid the tropics of a futuristic Brazil. The lush city of Palmares Tres shimmers with tech and tradition, with screaming gossip casters and practiced politicians. In the midst of this vibrant metropolis, June Costa creates art that's sure to make her legendary. But her dreams of fame become something more when she meets Enki, the bold new Summer King. The whole city falls in love with him (including June's best friend, Gil). But June sees more to Enki than amber eyes and a lethal samba. She sees a fellow artist.

Story
An energizing case for hope about the climate comes from Rebecca Solnit, called “the voice of the resistance” by the New York Times, and climate activist Thelma Young Lutunatabua, along with a chorus of voices calling on us to rise to the moment. Not Too Late is the book for anyone who is despondent, defeatist, or unsure about climate change and seeking answers. As the contributors to this volume make clear, the future will be decided by whether we act in the present—and we must act to counter institutional inertia, fossil fuel interests, and political obduracy.

A youth movement is reenergizing global environmental activism. The "climate generation"—late millennials and iGen, or Generation Z—is demanding that policy makers and government leaders take immediate action to address the dire outcomes predicted by climate science. Those inheriting our planet's environmental problems expect to encounter challenges, but they may not have the skills to grapple with the feelings of powerlessness and despair that may arise when they confront this seemingly intractable situation.

Story
Global warming is perhaps the most dramatic example of what Timothy Morton calls "hyperobjects" - entities of such vast temporal and spatial dimensions that they defeat traditional ideas about what a thing is in the first place. In this book, Morton explains what hyperobjects are and their impact on how we think, how we coexist with one another and with nonhumans, and how we experience our politics, ethics, and art.

Timothy Morton argues that ecological awareness in the present Anthropocene era takes the form of a strange loop or Möbius strip, twisted to have only one side. Deckard travels this oedipal path in Blade Runner when he learns that he might be the enemy he has been ordered to pursue. Ecological awareness takes this shape because ecological phenomena have a loop form that is also fundamental to the structure of how things are.

Publisher's Summary
Named a Best Book of 2021 by The New Yorker and Publishers Weekly
“[Warmth] is lyrical and erudite, engaging with science, activism, and philosophy...[Sherrell] captures the complicated correspondence between hope and doubt, faith and despair - the pendulum of emotional states that defines our attitude toward the future.” (The New Yorker)
“Beautifully rendered and bracingly honest.” (Jenny Odell, author of How to Do Nothing)
From a millennial climate activist, an exploration of how young people live in the shadow of catastrophe
Warmth is a new kind of book about climate change: not what it is or how we solve it, but how it feels to imagine a future - and a family - under its weight. In a fiercely personal account written from inside the climate movement, Sherrell lays bare how the crisis is transforming our relationships to time, to hope, and to each other. At once a memoir, a love letter, and an electric work of criticism, Warmth goes to the heart of the defining question of our time: how do we go on in a world that may not?
Critic Reviews
“[Warmth] is lyrical and erudite, engaging with science, activism, and philosophy - he moves fluently among thinkers such as Bill McKibben, Saidiya Hartman, and Maggie Nelson...[and] captures the complicated correspondence between hope and doubt, faith and despair.... [Sherrell's letter is] an achievement, reflective of the serpentine struggle with self-doubt...speaking to an unborn child allows him to extend beyond his own relative comfort, and this involves its own kind of faith, a solidarity with the world to come that we won’t see.... [He] remind[s] us that there will be no further salvation from afar, only a need to look harder, and closer.” (The New Yorker)
"Sherrell’s diverse emotional palate may in fact reflect the ambivalence most of us feel when it comes to issues of climate change. We generally don’t think about the Problem, as Sherrell calls it, until our thoughts about it are too much to bear.... Sherrell awakens a new urgency for reform. Our choices today have an impact on the environment in years to come, we know. But in Warmth, Sherrell makes concrete what is generally too abstract or distant for us to really feel.” (The Washington Post)
“[Written] with incisive, ground-level urgency.... Sherrell is an immensely talented young writer who cares deeply about his subject.... Warmth should be required reading for anyone who questions the depth, tenacity, and critical thinking skills of millennials.... Sherrell could have responded with a pure screed. Instead he’s come up with something more potent: an existential yawp, freighted with the ballast of knowledge and intent. Reading Warmth means accepting the challenge of caring, and perhaps even doing something about it.” (The Boston Globe)

Warmth - an act of laying bare the threats and hopes for our planet.
Exquisitely elegant portrayal of our impact on the planet, our society, our life, our home: in this book our choices in the ‘bubble’ are laid bare. Thank you Daniel Sherrell for doing the work to help us better understand the stakes at play.
