Description
But would we really want it?
Varoufakis's boundary-breaking new book confounds expectations of what the good society would look like and confronts us with the greatest question: are we able to build a better society, despite our flaws.
'One of my few heroes.
Combining a provocative thought-experiment with a deeply original sci-fi narrative, this book is both visionary in its search for new possibilities and realistic in its embrace of the complexities of our human nature
A landmark work ... A vision of a new society with new ways of thinking is possibly the most important thing an artist can offer at the moment
I am enjoying Yanis Varoufakis's Another Now. The way we live is not inevitable
I could not recommend this more. If you're looking for a sense of optimism, a sense of political possibility, this book is very important
From @yanisvaroufakis' sf novel ANOTHER NOW, the absolute best description of the scam of #InvestmentBanking I've ever read
There is something exciting, even invigorating, about envisioning this world alongside Varoufakis ... one finishes Another Now buzzing with a sense of possibility
Another Now is structurally, ideologically and linguistically an extraordinary work
I've absolutely loved reading [Another Now] ... the second I started reading it, it surprised and intrigued me
Another Now is not only a marvellously good read - it is a notable addition to the literature of social change
The reason Varoufakis seems to have captured the imaginations of so many is that his words about the European crisis speak universal truths about democracy, capitalism and social policy
One of my few heroes
