From the climate crisis and the pandemic to trends in masculinity, a stellar collection of Rebecca Solnit's most recent thinking exploring the power of activism.

Solnit stares unflinchingly at the facts of our age – Trump, Gaza, climate catastrophe, the assault on truth – and argues for the power of uncertainty as opposed to foregone conclusions. Yes, the future looks bleak, but that does not mean we are doomed. Only giving up guarantees that. Instead, persevere.
