The Uninhabitable Earth: A Story of the Future (2019) is the epoch-defining travelogue for the years to come, is also a meditation on what the future would entail to the individuals living within it. It is written by David Wallace-Wells. It explores how environmental changes like global warming or climate change will likely affect international biopolitics, the modern world's relationship with environment and technology, the viability of capitalism and the future sustainability of the civilization. This travelogue is an extended form of an immediate sensational successful magazine cover story of 2017, surveying the land-scape of worst-case scenarios for global warming. The language of the Anthropocene is rife with references to slow violence. Climate change is happening at a glacial pace. The natural environment has been decimated by humankind. It is considerably worse than what one might imagine. The travelogue acknowledges the ways to avert the most severe forms of the deterioration, including public contribution in green energy, carbon capture, sustainable agriculture in the service of conventional and organic agricultural products and a move away from dairy and beef in the world's dietary habits, and introduction of political apparatus on carbon tax to phase out the polluting resources swiftly. An ardent cry for intervention is encountered in The Uninhabitable Earth. It is a sobering reminder of the disastrous results of inaction and provides a stark alert on the necessity of taking immediate measures to mitigate the most catastrophic repercussions. The purpose of this paper is to explore the present text with appropriate theoretical views of environmentalist Lawrence Buell who has made significant contribution on the discourses of literature, environment, sustainability and hazards.
