Summary

In the tradition of Octavia Butler, here is radical self-help, society-help, and planet-help to shape the futures we want. Change is constant. The world, our bodies, and our minds are in a constant state of flux. They are a stream of ever-mutating, emergent patterns. Rather than steel ourselves against such change, Emergent Strategy teaches us to map and assess the swirling structures and to read them as they happen, all the better to shape that which ultimately shapes us, personally and politically. A resolutely materialist spirituality based equally on science and science fiction: a wild feminist and afro-futurist ride!

adrienne maree brown, co-editor of Octavia’s Brood: Science Fiction from Social Justice Movements, is a social justice facilitator, healer, and doula living in Detroit.

Essential for our times

What humility and brilliance adrienne maree brown brings to this work if emergence. Aside from the beautiful narration, we are brought into a world of wild imaginings and real possibility.
For change workers and meaning makers and those prepared to change along with systems, an essential, welcome read, guide and partner.
Beautiful and humbling.

Hard work

I'm halfway through and still not clear on the purpose or learnings for this book. I will try to struggle through. The number of quotes really dont work in audio, but would I expect work better on paper or e-reader. The quotes make it awkward, making it feel a little like a show and tell of all the other books the author has read.
