"Inspired by Octavia Butler's explorations of our human relationship to change, Emergent Strategy is radical self-help, society-help, and planet-help designed to shape the futures we want to live. Change is constant. The world is in a continual state of flux. It is a stream of ever-mutating, emergent patterns. Rather than steel ourselves against such change, this book invites us to feel, map, assess, and learn from the swirling patterns around us in order to better understand and influence them as they happen. This is a resolutely materialist 'spirituality' based equally on science and science fiction, a visionary incantation to transform that which ultimately transforms us"--Page [4] of cover.

If you do activism or social change work, you should read this.
A philosophy for love, life, organizing, and relationships in the midst of the end of the world. amb is so comforting to me as a public intellectual sharing these ideas-- and yet they are deeply challenging ideas as well. Will need to reread. Preferably with some woes of my own.
