    About this audiobook

    The Emmy Award–winning creator of GASLAND tells his intimate and damning, personal story of our world in crisis. With a foreword by Bill McKibben.

    The rules have changed.
    The water has changed.
    The climate has changed.
    The truth has changed.
    We must change.

    In The Truth Has Changed, Josh Fox turns the rapid-fire shocks that are remaking the very fabric of our lives—writing as a first responder, a reporter, a documentarian, and an activist—into art, literature, and at least one answer to the question of what the future holds.

    Our normal isn’t normal anymore.

    The paradigm shift that global warming represents parallels a paradigm shift in how we process truth. Both deeply affect democracy.

    Josh Fox has had a front row seat—a first responder after 9/11, filming the Deepwater Horizon spill close up from the air and on the ground, a member of Bernie Sanders’s delegation of the Democratic Platform Committee, risking his life to cross a bridge on Thanksgiving Day at Standing Rock, traveling the nation and the world, shooting his films, talking to people everywhere he goes.

    The Truth Has Changed is his first book, the companion to his new one-man show of the same title, and it’s beautiful.

    Josh Fox

    The only journalist ever arrested in Congress for doing journalsm, Josh Fox is the man who made "fracking" a household word as writer/director/narrator of the Oscar-nominated, Emmy-winning film Gasland. His short videos on climate interruption, Standing Rock, Bernie Sanders and fracking have gone viral and been viewed over 60 million times. Josh is the founder and producing artistic director of the International WOW Company, which has produced over 40 new plays to consistent rave reviews. The New York Times calls him "one of the most adventurous impresarios of the New York avant-garde," and Time Out NY adds "one of downtown's most audacious auteurs." He has toured to over 500 American cities to speak to people about climate change and the proliferation of fossil fuel extraction, raising awareness at the grassroots. Josh's other films include the award-winning How to Let Go of the World and Love All the Things Climate Can't Change, and AWAKE, a Dream of Standing Rock. Josh has appeared on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, Bill Maher, CBS World News Tonight, The Colbert Report, The Diane Rehm Show, NPR's Morning Edition and All Things Considered, Carson Daly, Chris Hayes, Democracy Now, and many other national broadcasts, and in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, the Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post, Time magazine, and many other national and metropolitan publications. He lives in New York City and New Orleans. The Truth Has Changed is his first book.

      I like Josh Fox because he is passionate. He is passionate enough to follow his passions, no matter where they take him, no matter what damage they do his Linked In profile (if he even has one), no matter what kind of bullies, be they police or corporate fixers, he encounters. The Truth Has Changed is a fast moving, stylish mind dump of his adventures to date. Unlike many, he is growing from his encounters. He now understands that “Everybody has their truth that they won’t compromise.” Regardless of the truth. (That alone explains the USA in 2018.)That politics is not only no solution, it is a big part of the problem. That it is not easy to recognize the truth in all the noise. He understands that the world is actually run on behalf of giant corporations, mostly fossil fuels exploiters. And that governments both democratic and autocratic cater to their whims. Those whims involve unrestricted movement to build, access to data, and increased sales. At the expense of the air, soil, water, biodiversity, the very Holocene Climate itself, and even their own customers. Doesn’t matter. We are now clearly on borrowed time, and they don’t care.The book is a script/companion piece of his new one-man show, to be launched the day the book is launched – September 11, 2018. Fox was a 9/11 first responder, a documentary producer (Gasland) on the effects of fracking, a hard-working, well-traveled speaker, and someone trying to obtain and then maintain perspective on all the self-imposed destruction we heap on ourselves daily. It isn’t easy from the inside, and the book/play is a voyage of discovery.It is not a descent into hell, but neither are there many uplifting moments. We are disobeying Warren Buffet’s First Law: when in a hole, stop digging. Dig we must, it seems. And there are precious few saying stop.But Fox gets it: “We are the first generation to know with absolute, scientific certainty what the global apocalypse will look like,” he concludes without hysterics, anger or even defeat. He’s a good one to have around.David Wineberg
