    I've been thinking about this comment for a day now. Honestly comrade if you are looking for a meaty, academic book by Malm I think I'd strongly recommend White Skin, Black Fuel over this. It felt much more "useful", discussing frameworks that are much more salient to the current climate struggle. Maybe it all comes together in the second half, but Fossil Capital is feeling much more academic in nature in the sense of the argument and details being o theoretically important than practically important.
