About the book: Ours is undeniably a world on fire. The seas are rising, forests burn, geopolitical strife accelerates, and our inner lives are increasingly unmoored, in collapse. Many of us no longer know our place in this world. Like Icarus, we are in free fall. Tracing the author’s travels through some of the most despairing, remote, and beautiful regions of the Earth, What Happened to Icarus is both a call to action and a call to remember — to remember who we are, so that we may fall in love with the world again, even as we despair in our descent.
