Things are not going back to 'normal': we are living through the end of the world as we've known it. How we choose to live will shape the next era.

It's hard to escape the feeling that something is deeply wrong... heatwave records are being broken every year, techno-fascism is descending, nuclear war looms and economic inequality is beyond anything we've seen. In I Eat the Stars, multi-New York Times bestselling author Sarah Wilson argues our civilisation is facing systemic collapse, but also that profound and ached-for beauty and meaning can be found when we face this reality.

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.
