Life Inc.

Douglass Rushkoff

A passionate, well-written text that argues that our centralized currency system is the key to the corporatism that has infected not only our government but our daily lives.

Reading Pictures

Alberto Manguel

Manguel—author of A History of Reading—turns his eye to how we “read” art. A welcome correlative to Berger’s Ways of Seeing.

The Once and Future World

J. B. MacKinnon

MacKinnon calls for a “rewilding,” bringing the wild back into our lives rather than carving out a separate place for it. A compelling and beautiful read.

Teju Cole

Teju Cole’s first novel is uneventful, but don’t let that deter you.

Every Day Is for the Thief

Teju Cole

Cole’s second work of fiction maintains the line of his first.

Saving Time

Jenny Odell

“This book is my panoramic assault on nihilism.”
