Aurora

"There is no Planet B" - Kim Stanley Robinson makes an impassioned argument that if we wreck earth, we may not have another planet to live in. BTW, I finished reading his novel 'Aurora' and I think it was the best book of 2015. Guardian review of Kim Stanley Robinson's Aurora agrees.

To quote this review of this sci-fi masterpiece:
terraforming new worlds proves much harder than fixing the environmental problems of our own beautiful planet – although we seem to be finding it difficult to do even that simple thing.
