![Voltaire: Candide (2013, [CreateSpace/Amazon])](/images/thumbnails/covers/fe06da62-7658-47f8-aa07-8990d0c302a4/fe9b328db054f2f7364b368d4f7aa808.webp)
A good exploration of current effects of human pollution, but jumps around a bit too much and much of the future forecasting seems thinly grounded. The latter chapters seemed even more stream-of-thought random.
This won't change anyones mind, nor will it inspire action, but as a primer or a refresher of what's at stake it will be worth the quick read.
