Critics Review
Revealing, inspiring and funny. This book is a joy to romp through, which is good, because its final chapter is the important truth we all need to hear and understand if we are to survive this mess we’ve made.—Chris Packham
Mad Max meets Laurie Lee.—Andrew Merrell, Raikes Journal
I found Manifesto enthralling, thought-provoking and I learnt so much from it. Nor had I any idea that we had our own Archimedes living in The Cotswolds.—Jilly Cooper
Manifesto is not just an essential read, it’s highly entertaining. Dale Vince is the UK’s best known eco entrepreneur and he tells a great story - from pitched battles with the cops as a new age traveller to standoffs with the fossil fuel energy barons. Think Silent Spring meets Succession. Ultimately this book calls out both boring eco orthodoxy and unhinged ‘moonshot’ rhetoric instead setting out a compelling, accessible case for radical and rapid sustainable change.—Lucy Siegle
