Margaret Atwood expresses her unceasing curiosity and playful humor about our world and shares what she discovers in this candid and generous book. She seeks answers to crucial questions such as: Why do people everywhere, across cultures, tell stories? How can we live on our planet? What do the living dead have to do with authoritarianism? The period covered by this collection includes milestones such as the financial crisis, the rise of Trump, and a pandemic. From debt and technology to the climate crisis and freedom, with questions ranging from when to give advice to the young (answer: only when asked) to how to define granola, Atwood unveils the mysteries of the human universe.
