As a Hillary voter, a New York Times reporter, and frequent attendee at her local gay bars, Nellie Bowles fit right in with her San Francisco neighbors and friends—until she started questioning whether the progressive movement she knew and loved was actually helping people.

The answers she found were stranger—and funnier—than she expected.

A farm kid at heart, and a Nlaka'pamux woman of mixed ancestry, Dr. Jennifer Grenz always felt a deep connection to the land. Which is why, after nearly two decades of working as a restoration ecologist in the Pacific Northwest, she became frustrated that she and her colleagues weren't making the meaningful change needed for plant, animal and human communities to adapt to a warming climate. She began to question the central conceit of restoration ecology: that somehow, we must return the natural world to an untouched, pristine state, placing humans in a godlike role.

Un sujet brûlant – celui des violences policières et du lien distendu entre citoyens et forces de l’ordre.

Il XXI secolo è il secolo della solitudine. Noreena Hertz lo sperimenta in prima persona: a un colloquio di lavoro viene valutata da un algoritmo; un pomeriggio fa shopping con un’"amica del cuore" affittata tramite un servizio online; di sera si trova a sfiorare la pelle artificiale di un robot progettato per essere il suo animale da compagnia. La solitudine che Noreena Hertz racconta non si limita alla frustrazione del desiderio di avere qualcuno vicino; è un male sottile che si è insinuato dentro di noi e ha permeato ogni aspetto della nostra società.
