His latest novel, "The Ministry for the Future," is a masterpiece of the imagination which uses fictional eyewitness accounts to tell the story of how climate change will affect us all. You certainly don't need to have read the book to attend, although you can buy a copy from Marcus Books.
“Maybe you’re right. Maybe there’s no such thing as justice, in the sense of some kind of real reparation of a wrong. No eye for an eye, no matter what. Especially historical justice, or climate justice. But over the long haul, in some rough sense, that’s what we have to try for. That’s what our ministry is about. We’re trying to set things up so that in the future, over the long haul, something like justice will get created. Some long-term ledger of more good than bad. Bending the arc and all that. No matter what happened before, that’s what we can do now."
