Table of ContentsReviews'In his crystal-clear analysis Clive Hamilton warns against Promethean recklessness and calls for utmost caution and deep reflection . It's depressing to realise what we have done and still want to do to our planet, but hope lies in thinkers such as Hamilton, if only we heed them before it's too late.'-Tom Moriarty, Irish Times. -- Tom Moriarty * Irish Times * 'In his crystal-clear analysis Clive Hamilton warns against Promethean recklessness and calls for utmost caution and deep reflection . It's depressing to realise what we have done and still want to do to our planet, but hope lies in thinkers such as Hamilton, if only we heed them before it's too late.'-Tom Moriarty, Irish Times. -- Tom Moriarty Irish Times 'As we collectively contemplate upping the ante on the same arrogant logic that created the climate crisis, we could ask for no wiser nor more trustworthy guide than Clive Hamilton. A dazzling, multilayered exploration of the strange and terrifying world of geoengineering.' (Naomi Klein, author of The Shock Doctrine) 'Do not assume this book is merely an excellent treatment of the pros and cons of geoengineering schemes aimed at slowing climate change. What Earthmasters actually does is examine the dawn of climate engineering as the perilous, ethically fraught final frontier in our species' long drive to apply technology to control ever-more of the planet. And do not for a second think that the powerful coalition now gathering in support of planet-scale engineering is motivated just to save Mother Earth; as Hamilton observes, some do not even think there is a serious climate issue, and his description of geoengineering's proponents - who they are and what motivates them - is one of the strongest features of this remarkable book. Get ready for a brave new world, Hamilton urges, not by getting on the bandwagon but by questioning deeply the very underpinnings of the modernist project we call contemporary civilization.' (James Gustave Speth, author of Red Sky at Morning: America and the Crisis of the Global Environment) Author InformationClive Hamilton is Vice-Chancellor’s Chair and professor of public ethics, Centre for Applied Philosophy and Public Ethics, Charles Sturt University, Canberra.
