Book cover of Impasse: Climate Change and the Limits of Progress by Roy Scranton

We need a new realism in the face of global climate catastrophe

It's past time, @royscranton.bsky.social argues in Impasse, to free ourselves from our dangerous faith in progress. If we want to have any hope for the future, it must be grounded in recognizing human limits

Apocalypse 24/7 | Roy Scranton We can hardly make sense of the idea of the end of the world without attending to all the other worlds that ended before our own.

"We face not a day of reckoning, but Apocalypse 24/7."
