I really appreciate that your highest rated book is about blowing up a pipeline. That's a mood
It is a very good book. I have some more by the same author on my shelf but haven't got to them yet.
Fossil Capital: The Rise of Steam Power and the Roots of Global Warming is a history of industrial use of fossil fuels; in particular I believe it discusses how fossil fuels became so prevalent because they are a method of power generation which can be privatised more easily than things like water power.
I also have White Skin, Black Fuel: On the Dangers of Fossil Fascism by Malm and the Zetkin Collective but I don't know much about that one yet, I mostly picked it up because of the Black Skin, White Masks reference in the title.
