I've read three interesting books lately that relate here and relate to each other in a meta way: The Uninhabitable Earth, The Growth Delusion, and Origin Story. Key meta-takeaway is that in the long run, we humans need to figure out a way to optimally manage the flow of work energy (thermodynamic "free" energy) to best serve our purposes, with broad allocation across species (ours and others), and with minimal, ideally zero, unintended consequences -- minimum impactful entropy costs. Could also be lots of opportunity moving the world into that frame of mind as well.
