Summary

Johan Rockström, architect of the planetary boundaries framework, and photographer Mattias Klum present a visually rich argument that humanity has entered the Anthropocene and must fundamentally rethink its relationship with Earth's natural systems. The book rejects the false choice between economic growth and environmental stewardship, making the case that abundance within planetary boundaries is both necessary and achievable through innovation, systemic design, and a shift in values.
