"The Collapse of Western Civilization" is an essay that takes the reader to the year 2393, where a historian from the Second People's Republic of China analyzes the causes of the Great Collapse that occurred in 2093. The authors, Naomi Oreskes and Eric M. Conway, present a dramatic vision of a world in which ignoring warnings about a climate disaster led to a drastic increase in temperatures, rising sea levels and mass migrations. This book is a warning against the consequences of inaction in climate protection and an analysis of the reasons why humanity could not turn knowledge into power.

Naomi Oreskes, a science historian, and Eric M. Conway, a historian, created this book to understand why collective action to protect the climate has failed. By using a fictional perspective of the future, the authors gained distance from the described topic, which allowed them to thoroughly analyze the causes and consequences of the climate crisis. Their essay is well documented with data on the current state of the climate and climate policy, and the catastrophic predictions outlined in it are based on the latest findings of empirical science. This book is an important voice in the discussion about the future of our planet and an encouragement to take concrete actions to protect it.
