Representing the Impossible: Telling Stories about the End of the World

The goal of this book is to sketch out a general approach to representing large-scale volatility—things like climate change or artificial intelligence or authoritarianism – so that we might figure out ways of living with and alongside it. The core argument isn’t a new one. We need to tell more and better stories. However, the changes we’re addressing are elusive and are upending the material and conceptual ground on which we stand.
