In the prologue, Andrew Boyd describes his experience at the 2015 climate march in New York and the 2021 climate conference in Glasgow. Boyd discusses the concept of hope in connection to the climate crisis and argues that our ability to build a brighter future is gone and must be replaced with working towards a better catastrophe.
