'Building a society that operates within ecological constraints requires an unleashing of our political imaginations, and this book helps us do just that'

-Astra Taylor, author of The Age of Insecurity


Half-Earth Socialism is a radical call to action to save the planet, including trenchant proposals to rewild half the earth to absorb carbon emissions and restore biodiversity; rapidly transition to renewable energy, paired with drastic cuts in consumption; and shift to global veganism to reduce energy and land use. As this thrilling and provocative book makes clear, we must humbly accept that humanity cannot fully understand or control the earth - but we can plan new energy systems, large-scale rewilding, and food production for the common good.


'Half-Earth Socialism embraces the hardest choices, the most exacting ecological constraints, and thinks with them to reinvent climate utopianism'

-Richard Seymour, New Statesman


'Vegan cookbook meets Minecraft ... flips the age of dystopias into a renewal of the genre of utopia ... empowers readers to write their own recipes for a future in peril'

-Andreas Malm, author of Fossil Capital


'A remarkable manifesto ... that envisages the immediate liberation of the entire world from the grip of capitalist exploitation'

-Le Monde diplomatique
