About this ebook:
We’re now confronted daily with evidence that the world isn’t working like it used to. However, current cultural explanations lack a systemic context for the unfolding challenges we might label as the human predicament. The risks we now face are related, synergistic and require informed action. Our society is now growth constrained, yet we’re pulling out all stops unsustainably to keep growing, to avoid facing this constraint. Threats such as climate change biodiversity collapse and overpopulation are not the problems themselves, but symptoms of this unsustainable growth, which now threatens civilization itself. Our society desperately needs a comprehensive, memorable narrative about humans, Earth, and our collective future, something that describes how things fit together - because they DO fit together - to inform realistic futures – replacing current themes of space-migration or apocalypse. This book is a collection of essays used in the college class "Reality 101 - A Survey of the Human Predicament" currently taught by Nate Hagens at the University of Minnesota.
