I eat the stars : how to live fully and beautifully in a collapsing world / Sarah Wilson.
Our world is going through a fundamental shift. The crises and threats pile up: AI takeover, climate carnage, intensified conflicts, technofascist rule and authoritarianism. Why now, and why everything, all at once? In I Eat the Stars, Sarah Wilson explains that we are in the midst of what every sophisticated civilisation before us has experienced - complex systems collapse. She goes on to explore how we, as tender-hearted humans, can navigate this radical moment together. Drawing on hundreds of interviews with scientists, philosophers, economists, historians and spiritual leaders, she offers a compassionate guide to help us navigate the 'too-muchness', make meaningful choices for our lives and rise to our full humanity - all while refusing to succumb to despair. With her warm, incisive voice, Wilson reframes collapse not as a finality but as an invitation to reconnect with what matters to us, and to meet the future with courage, creativity and unprecedented care. What if, she asks, this new world we're entering is more stunning than we'd ever imagined?
