description: In the tradition of Octavia Butler radical self-help society-help and planet-help to shape the futures we want.Inspired by Octavia Butler's explorations of our human relationship to change Emergent Strategy is radical self-help society-help and planet-help designed to shape the futures we want to live. Change is constant. The world is in a continual state of flux. It is a stream of ever-mutating emergent patterns. Rather than steel ourselves against such change this book invites us to feel map assess and learn from the swirling patterns around us in order to better understand and influence them as they happen. This is a resolutely materialist spirituality based equally on science and science fiction a visionary incantation to transform that which ultimately transforms us.
