Nomad century was a super fascinating look at the future of the world based on all of the changes to the climate that have already happened and that are projected in the near future. I enjoyed the history of human migration over time-- it gave a great context to the role of immigration/migration in human history. This was a quick and easily-digestible book that's great for beginners in the topic of climate change. The speculation of what the future will look like and what areas of the world will be inhabitable were incredibly fascinating.

All of that being said, this book was simultaneously too long and too short. It didn't go into enough detail into some of the topics I think it should have (existing/future climate tech, the darker side of humanity re: why we won't actually save ourselves). At the same time, it went way into way too much repetitive detail about how optimistic we should be and how humanity will pull through and be successful.

I'm glad this book exists, but I think it's mostly a primer to other titles that go into more detail.
