In wide-ranging interviews, Noam Chomsky asks us to consider the world we are leaving to our grandchildren: one imperiled by climate change and the growing potential for nuclear war. If the current system is incapable of dealing with these threats, he argues, its up to us to radically change it. These ten interviews, conducted from 2013 to 2016, examine the latest developments around the globe.
