I adore this book. It really puts humans in their place. We need to change our way of thinking about the resources of our planet and go from being harvesters of anything we want to protectors of what we have been gifted. This book is every bit as relevant today as it was when it was written over 25 years ago, especially with the rain forests being burned for business and islands of plastic floating in the oceans. Are we really as smart as we think we are? Would the world be better if humans ceased to exist? The actual story is meh, but the message is amazing.
