About this listen

What would happen if we were to awaken one day and suddenly realize that the world we live in appeared eerily alien, as if we'd been teleported to some other distant world? That frightening prospect is now. Our planetary hydrosphere, which animates all of life on Earth, is rebelling in the wake of a global warming climate, spurring biblical spring floods, devastating summer droughts, heatwaves, and wildfires and powerful autumn hurricanes and typhoons, wreaking havoc on ecosystems and society.

We have come to believe that we live on a land planet when the reality is that we live on a water planet, and now the Earth's hydrosphere is rewilding in the throes of a changing climate, taking our species and our fellow creatures into a mass extinction event as it searches for a new equilibrium.

Jeremy Rifkin calls on us to rethink our place in the universe and realize that we live on Planet Aqua. The next stage in the human journey is to rebrand our home Planet Aqua and learn how to readapt to the waters of life.

Underpinned by robust research, this major new work by one of the world's leading public intellectuals aims to redefine the very core of our existence on Planet Aqua.

Long winded word salad

Who is this book for? Wrapped in a word salad of over complicated terminology and convolved syntax, this book contains nuggets of novelty but a little of substance. If the aim is to educate and reach out to those who do not already care this topic, then the book is an utter failure. If this book is intended titillate, the intellect of the already convinced, it’s about as useful as an extra helping of pie after Christmas dinner. This book discusses one of the most important issues facing mankind today. It is important. It needs to reach out to those who do not understand and especially those who remain ignorant, but can still make a difference. Wrapped in soporific, mono-tonal delivery (in audiobook format) this book misses the mark completely. I wish it were different. It should have been different from an author of this caliber and deserved reputation.
