Starting from his concerns about his son’s future, the author explores how the climate crisis is likely to shape everyday life: travel, food, work opportunities, housing, and even the freedom to decide whether to have children. Personal questions open onto broader reflections about how cities may be redesigned and how employment and lifestyles could change. Rather than focusing only on threats, the book also looks for possibilities of improvement that might make the future engaging and meaningful. Written in a clear, approachable tone, it avoids alarmism and blame, adopting the perspective of a parent seeking answers and offering a fresh way to think about climate change.
