Nobody ever listens, do they? They call you hysterical, a fearmonger, a doomer. A little validation would feel nice. You're just trying to guard your health and your sanity, and maybe those around you. This book explores the history and psychology behind all of the aggressive wishful thinking in our culture, so you can navigate it a little better. It offers the mythical figure of Cassandra as an inspiration and role model for those of us who feel cursed to hear the future. You'll get much more than a bunch of collected essays here. These are expanded and polished rewritings, carefully integrated into chapters, with fresh commentary and perspectives on the chaos we battle every day, along with some observations and insights designed to offer some solace.
