Hi, just wanted to say that I really appreciated your essay on Don't Look Up! I think you hit the nail of one weakness of the movie if we see it as a symboles of global warming : how a comet is something concrete, tangible, that we can even see while climate change is something that we have difficulty integrating into our mental world. The notion of Hyperobjects (that I didn't knew about) is interesting, and I bought the book to immerse myself in this concept. Finally, your alternative scenario was really good... Keep up the good work!
