Emergent Strategy

Emergent Strategy by adrienne maree brown digital book - Fable

Publisher 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.

Emergent Strategy Reviews

4.0
“To be honest, this book confused me. Which makes me think I maybe wasn’t its intended audience. I did really like the chapters/sections on Interdependence and Decentralization and Resilience. The quotes, seemingly unrelated personal stories, and constant callbacks to Octavia Butler’s writings felt out of place. This felt like reading a personal journal that was perhaps the ideas of a book, but not a finished book. I could see how some would feel a sense of connection and enlightenment in this style of writing, but it wasn’t for me.”
