No Immediate Danger (Carbon Ideologies) Book Information:

In his nonfiction, William T. Vollmann has won acclaim as a singular voice tackling some of the most important issues of our age, from poverty to violence to the dark soul of American imperialism as it has played out on the U.S./Mexico border. Now, vollmann turns to a topic that will define the generations to come-thee factors and human actions that have led to global warming. Vollmann begins no immediate danger, the first volume of carbon ideologies, by examining and quantifying the many causes of climate change, from seemingly beneficial Agriculture practices to the manufacture of the Steel and plastics we all depend on to the justifiable yearning of people all over the world to live in comfort. Can we avoid global warming and still satisfy energy demand? One way forward might be nuclear power. Vollmann recounts multiple visits that he made at significant personal risk over the course of seven years to the contaminated no-go zones and sad ghost towns of Fukushima, Japan, beginning shortly after the tsunami and reactor meltdowns of 2011. He measured radiation and interviewed tsunami victims, nuclear evacuees, anti-nuclear organizers and pro-nuclear utility workers. Vollmann found that the safety of many localities, even after decontamination, may remain questionable for decades. Addressed to humans living in the "hot dark future" And featuring vollmann's signature wide learning, sardonic wit and Encyclopaedic research, no immediate danger, whose title co-opts the reassuring mantra of Official Japanese energy experts, builds up a powerful, sobering picture of the ongoing nightmare of Fukushima.
