Change as a practice of shaping the future

Adrienne Maree Brown connects ideas about change with practical reflection on how patterns form and how people might influence them. Drawing inspiration from Octavia Butler’s explorations of humanity’s relationship to change, the book brings together personal, social, and planetary concerns. Its approach is described as materialist while also engaging science fiction and spirituality, framing attention to changing patterns as a way to consider the futures people want to shape. The result is a work of political thought and self-help that places individual reflection alongside broader questions of society and the planet.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in radical approaches to personal and social change
  • Those exploring political ideas alongside science fiction and spirituality
  • Readers concerned with how human choices relate to planetary futures

Book overview

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.
