When we talk or think about the future it has no connections, no emotions. Words like climate change or environmental catastrophe don't engage us. But what words cover issues of such magnitude?

This is why the bestselling Icelandic author and activist Andri Snaer Magnason has written instead On Time Water. As he explains: in the next 100 years, life on earth will change fundamentally. The glaciers are going extinct. The sea level is rising. The ocean acid level is unseen for 50 million years. This is happening in a single person's lifetime. We have moved away from geological time.

Extraordinary and original, On Time and Water help us rethink time and climate through travel, science, history and myth. It allows us to imagine ourselves into a future that is disconcertingly close. It offers ideas, reflections and solutions... and, in a remarkable postscript on how the world stopped for COVID-19, it offers hope.
