1 About this book

The Future Eaters is a 1994 non-fiction book by Australian author Tim Flannery. The book is an ecological history of Australia entailing how humans consume the resources they need for their future, and looking at the journey of the Aboriginal Australian people from Africa to the Australian mainland. Flannery's thesis has both been applauded and disagreed with.
