I Eat the Stars
How to Live Fully and Beautifully in a Collapsing World – The International Bestseller
From New York Times bestselling author Sarah Wilson comes a deeply moving, wise guide to finding joy and meaning in a world that seems to be falling apart. Things are not going back to ‘normal’. How we choose to live will shape the next era. “A book for dark times that is filled with light and hope.”— Peter FrankopanIt's hard to escape the feeling that something is deeply wrong . . . that life has become precariously off-balance. We are hit hourly with headlines about catastrophic wildfires, unprecedented flooding, record heat waves, collapsing democracies, AI and nuclear threat, rising economic inequality, widespread unrest and more. In I Eat the Stars, Sarah Wilson argues we are undergoing what every complex civilisation before us has - systemic collapse. I Eat the Stars is the brave new global book that explores what life might look like when the systems we rely on begin to fail, and how we can avoid succumbing to doom and despair. Drawing on years of research and wisdom from more than 200 conversations with energy futurists, philosophers, economists, the leading existential risk experts, game theorists, and spiritual leaders, Wilson explores:· Why confronting the reality of collapse gives us clarity and agency, and brings us back to what matters to us at human level · What the ‘tech bros’ are doing and why they are building AI they say will kill us · How to plan for an uncertain future – do we have kids? Do we become preppers? · What do we actually need to be doing now (because no one else seems to have a plan!)With her warm, incisively intelligent, and down-to-earth voice, and told through her renegade experiences, Wilson empowers readers to move beyond panic in the face of a dark and uncertain future. This is a guide to living with truth, purpose, justice, and creativity, helping us to step up as “warriors of the human spirit” and meet the moment. I Eat the Stars is a book for anyone who feels despair when thinking of the future; Wilson confronts our collective anxieties head-on, finding beauty, meaning, and humanity despite the chaos. We are experiencing a future that we were warned about for decades. But from a crisis comes stunning possibility. “Straight to the beating heart of what we all need to hear.” — Liam Neeson “Chilling and important” — Johann Hari "If we can keep Sarah Wilson and David Attenborough forever, there will always be beacons of possibility to guide us." — Lena Headey
