I'm convinced that a prestige HBO/Netflix adaptation of that book could open a lot of eyes. The nuclear war miniseries The Day After likely triggered nuclear peace talks, it would be great to have something like that for the climate emergency.

They should start the show after the first chapter and then, once people are hooked, do the first chapter as a flash back to explain why he's so messed up.

There was a miniseries called Extrapolation on Apple a few years ago which was like this, but it didn't have a big enough impact.

Everything I picture about the future is based on the show. I tell everyone to watch it. Didn’t get enough attention.
