Summary of naomi klein's on fire

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The hole at the bottom of the ocean is more than an engineering accident or a broken machine. It is a violent wound in the living organism that is Earth itself. #2 The meeting was tense, but eventually people started laughing. The oil had coated the bottom of the marsh, and there was no way to get it out safely. The people there didn't trust the government or BP, and they were right not to. #3 The Gulf Coast's rich waters and crowded skies will be less alive than they are today. The physical space many communities occupy on the map will also shrink due to erosion. And the coast's legendary culture will further contract and wither. #4 The BP oil spill has exposed how little control we have over the natural systems that sustain us. As the town hall meeting in Houma demonstrated, even the most brilliant among us cannot understand or predict the intricacies of nature.
