The book presents a provocative interpretation of Moby Dick, arguing that it is not merely a novel but a manifesto warning of environmental destruction. Barry Sanders contends that Melville intended the work as an alarm about humanity's relentless pursuit of nature for resources, exemplified by the hunt for the whale.

Through this examination, Sanders laments the erosion of what makes us truly human.
