The roller-coaster period covered in the collection brought an end to the end of history, a financial crash, the rise of Trump and a pandemic. From debt to tech, the climate crisis to freedom; from when to dispense advice to the young (answer: only when asked) to how to define granola, we have no better questioner of the many and varied mysteries of our human universe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eINCLUDES NEW ESSAYS FOR PAPERBACK\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Brilliant and funny'\u003cb\u003e Joan Didion\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'She's taken our times and made us wise to them'\u003cb\u003e Ali Smith\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Lights a fire from the fears of our age . . .
