With the short book Internationalism or Extinction, Noam Chomsky confronts the Anthropocene. He describes the avoidable but lethal realities of climate change, nuclear weapons, and our democratic deficits. Carefully balancing his criticisms of the systems of domination that have brought us to this point in history with commentary on both inter-state cooperation and grassroots resistance from below, this work brings together a wide range of themes and movements into a readily understandable narrative.
