In the year 2393, a leading scientist from the Second People's Republic of China presents a captivating and deeply disturbing report on how the children of the Enlightenment, the political and economic elites of the so-called advanced industrial nations, entered a twilight period in the early decades of the 21st century. This was a time when sound science and rational discussions about global change were forbidden, and clear warnings of a climate catastrophe were ignored. What happens when rising temperatures, increasing sea levels, drought, and mass migrations disrupt global governance and economic regimes? The Great Collapse of 2093. Based on solid research and yet willing to challenge established norms in both science and politics, this book offers a welcome moment of clarity amidst the cacophony of climate change literature. It includes a lexicon of historical and scientific terms that enriches the discussion.
