I don't think I'm the target audience for this book, but I appreciate what it was expressing. 

The first half of this book needs a good copy edit to remove repetition and duplicate concepts, but ultimately this was a fascinating read that gives a clear view into our future. If you want to take the stance that life on this planet will ultimately be better without humanity, then it’s quite hopeful. This is a perspective book. Some of what humanity has done to the world will have irreparable consequences, but meanwhile, nature has and will continue to adapt through life forms we may never know. Dunn dives into some fascinating research here, though I did want a sense of dissenting opinions and alternate angles. The research may be somewhat cherry-picked. But the science is super accessible with an engaging writing style. 

Lots of great examples, studies, with sharp-minded wit and logic to synthesize. Most memorable are the contextualizations around us: how needy we are for environment and climate, how relentless life is at hanging on, how unique but not special humans are. 

The "biological" laws were more about ecology, and not that enlightening, at least to me? How and where animals will migrate as a result of climate change is interesting, but I was hoping for something bigger?

Really great reflection, author is very engaging while remaining informative.
