About this listen
Penguin presents the audiobook edition of This Is Not A Drill by Extinction Rebellion, read by Eva Pope.
Extinction Rebellion are inspiring a whole generation to take action on climate breakdown.
Now you can become part of the movement - and together, we can make history.
It's time. This is our last chance to do anything about the global climate and ecological emergency. Our last chance to save the world as we know it.
Now or never, we need to be radical. We need to rise up. And we need to rebel.
Extinction Rebellion is a global activist movement of ordinary people, demanding action from Governments. This is a book of truth and action. It has facts to arm you, stories to empower you, pages to fill in and pages to rip out, alongside instructions on how to rebel - from organising a roadblock to facing arrest.
By the time you finish this book you will have become an Extinction Rebellion activist. Act now before it's too late.
Critic reviews
it explains the political climate and the environmental emergency in a way that could be understood by people who don't understand politics or climate science very well, and references places to do further reading too.
I love its explanation of non violence too and how this action is necessary for peace in future.
A fantastic introduction to Extinction Rebellion

No attempt is made to justify the idea of man-made global warming or the apocalyptic predictions of future climate catastrophe - this book is about what the XR people plan to do to stop these events. It get's to the point which is praiseworthy!
Each chapter has a different writer, this makes the book varied and ensures that if one chapter is boring you will not have to wait long for things to become interesting again. The book is also short, brevity is a great feature.
The core of the argument seems to be applying post-modern anti-Europeanism to the environment. "You know those horrible Europeans who gave us capitalism and empire? Well, let's talk about the environment and how the 1st world is committing ecocide!". It was very noticeable that the multiple authors had a strong fetish for tribal (indigenous) cultures and a dislike of Europeans.
I was cringing and laughing throughout. This really is a work of the bourgeois, 30-year-long-gap-year, PhD types who have no problems and so create them. It is the New Testament for the born again vegan. It is the new Communist Manifesto for the sandal-wearing, tambourine-tapping, lentil-eating crusty hippie!
Brief, direct, entertaining. Full marks!
Religious propaganda but very entertaining
