In the face of multiple, cascading crises—economic and ecological, political and cultural—it is more important than ever to confront the reality of the threats we face. Based on a calm apocalypticism and a common-sense approach to intellectual life, We Are All Apocalyptic Now offers a framework for understanding our moment in history and the obligations of those who are trying to communicate that understanding to a wider world.

    I needed this book for one of my college courses, but it was way more expensive to get it from the campus store than it was online. It arrived before the class even met for the first time and was in good quality. Not much else to say about it

    4.0 out of 5 stars Real Meaning of Apocalyptic Explained
    Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2013
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    This book is not about "end times." It is about revelation, about seeing things as they are. That is what the Greek word apocalyptic also has to do with. Jensen does not give any of us an easy out. Climate change is real and until we face this issue head on, we are doing ourselves and the planet a dis-service. Neither the media, nor the gov't, or technology have fixes for us or are telling the truth. The book is worth reading to discover Jensen's bold and radical position on what we can do.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Apocalypse is not what you think!
    Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2013
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Robert Jensen transfers general thinking on apocalypse from thoughts of impending disaster to the concept of removing veils of prejudice and ignorance so that we might more clearly perceive the continuing struggle against domination by the powerful and well-placed over the remainder of society. In his words,"to get apocalyptic means seeing clearly and recommitting to core values."

    We do not face the end of this world, but the "end of human systems that structure our politics, economics, and social life" for the benefit of the few against the many. Thinking apocalyptically is not necessarily religious in nature, but is common sense applied where it is needed.

    Read this book! You will enjoy it as it awakens you to new ways of looking at the present world chaos.

    5.0 out of 5 stars This book will prepare us for the long and difficult endeavor that may not succeed.
    Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2014
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    This is a great little book about the need to be realistic about the serious situation our species is in, as well as the need to keep our sanity by using our intellect to work at solving the problems that got us here. I've researched the ecological crises for many years, and Robert Jensen's attitude, I think, is necessary to avoid being crippled by depression or deluded by unrealistic aims. Jensen's ideas will be revisited by those of us who take our role in the future (i.e., becoming part of a solution) seriously.

    Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2013
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    this is not a light read, not is it a happy one. However, as dire as the situation is we find ourselves especially wrt to anthropogenic climate change, it is pragmatic and as hopeful as it could possibly be. Jensen does a yeoman job of clearly, directly, and in plain language, telling the steps to fully acknowledging the pickle we've made for ourselves, and offers solutions.

    This is a diminutive academic prescient tome, of the learned sense, seasoned with some eschatology spice. The book is an easy read and you will find yourself shaking your head in agreement more than not. It is a book that you should add to your reading list. You won't regret it.

    3.0 out of 5 stars While I don't disagree, should I have spent time reading it?
    Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2013
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    The message was one I agreed with, but the book was an essay on the need to prepare for a battle against conservatives that has been going on for a long time. It took an hour to read, and didn't qualify as a book I should have been spending time with. Just didn't learn a lot that I didn't already know.

    Robert Jensen wrote a very good explanation of the issues and emotions that are guiding us to the great changes of the future which he calls Apocalyptic, which he defines in non-religious terms. The changes will be momentous and challenging.
    Worth the read by anyone wanting to understand.
