Book Review: Save the World
Save the World: Twenty Sci-Fi Writers Save the Planet by J. Scott Coatsworth
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Having previously enjoyed Fix the World, I picked up its sister-book. The stories are very diverse, with some ideas I’d never entertained before. I found it a slightly less engaging book than Fix the World but still a worthy read.
The concept of writers saving the planet may seem at first like a simple “what if” mental diversion, but I’m betting a lot of progress has been made throughout the history of humanity by starting from these sort of wonderings. We need beginnings, new concepts to hang our questions and suggestions on. Why not listen to what writers are pondering? They are as human as any of us!
