Bestselling author and environmental journalist Alan Weisman returns with HOPE DIES LAST: Visionary People Across the World, Fighting to Find Us a Future. A decade in the making, this powerful new book follows Weisman across the globe where he meets those confronting the planet’s most urgent crises. Scientists, architects, artists, indigenous elders, Gen Z strategists, and even a Michelin-starred chef share imaginative, solution-driven responses to the climate emergency.

Profoundly human and moving, HOPE DIES LAST is both a literary evocation of our current predicament and a rejoinder to climate anxiety. Through vivid storytelling, he profiles bold thinkers reimagining our relationship with the Earth—offering an uplifting portrait of human resilience, resolve, and the courage to forge a livable path forward against overwhelming odds.
