COMING: December 28, 2021
Our culture of endless consumption is untenable. (And it makes us miserable, too.) Now, a climate emergency and shifting priorities are reorganizing our future. So what comes next?
All We Want predicts a paradigm shift: to thrive in the twenty-first century we'll measure our lives not through shopping and endless growth, but through Craft, the Sublime, and Care.
This book helps us reframe our days, bringing our conception of “the good life” in line with a hopeful new world that’s already taking shape. In the midst of massive change, All We Want argues that letting go of the old consumer story will lead us to far richer lives.

The End of Absence
Soon enough, nobody will remember life before the internet. What does this unavoidable fact mean? The End of Absence argues that amid all the changes we’re experiencing, the most interesting is the one that future generations will find hardest to grasp. That is the end of absence—the loss of lack.
