Established in 2025, the purpose of the new organization was simple: To advocate for the world's future generations and to protect all living creatures, present and future. It soon became known as the Ministry for the Future, and this is its story. From legendary science fiction author Kim Stanley Robinson comes a vision of climate change unlike any ever imagined. Told entirely through fictional eye-witness accounts, The Ministry for the Future is a masterpiece of the imagination, the story of how climate change will affect us all over the decades to come. Its setting is not a desolate, post-apocalyptic world, but a future that is almost upon us—and in which we might just overcome the extraordinary challenges we face. It is a novel both immediate and impactful, desperate and hopeful in equal measure, and it is one of the most powerful and original books on climate change ever written.

An incisive theoretical manifesto arguing that feminism is the only route to an antifascist global future In this exciting, innovative work, Polish feminist philosopher Ewa Majewska maps the creation of feminist counterpublics around the world—spaces of protest and ideas, community and common struggle—that can challenge the emergence of fascist states as well as Western democratic “public spheres” populated by atomised, individual subjects. Drawing from Eastern Europe and the Global South, Majewska describes the mass labour movement of Poland’s Solidarność in 1980 and contemporary feminist movements across Poland and South America, arguing that it is outside of the West that we can see the most promising left futures.

Part travelogue, part history, part love letter on a 1000-page scale, Rebecca West's Black Lamb & Grey Falcon is a genre-bending masterwork written in elegant prose. But what makes it so unlikely to be confused with any other book of history, politics or culture--with, in fact, any other book--is its unashamed depth of feeling: think The Decline & Fall of the Roman Empire crossed with Let Us Now Praise Famous Men. West visited Yugoslavia for the 1st time in 1936. What she saw there affected her so much that she had to return--partly, she writes, "because it most resembled the country I have always seen between sleeping & waking, & partly because it was like picking up a strand of wool that would lead me out of a labyrinth in which, to my surprise, I had found myself immured." Black Lamb is the chronicle of her travels, but above all it's West following that strand of wool: thru countless historical digressions; thru winding narratives of battles, slavery & assassinations; thru Shakespeare & Augustine & into the very heart of human frailty.

Fascist and reactionary populist forces have undeniably swelled in the US in recent years. When we look at fascism we tend to focus on how its politics are institutionalized and systematized, but to effectively counter fascist movement we need to understand it beyond its most visible and public expressions. To understand fascism, Jack Bratich believes, we must understand the way fascists see the world. To do this, we must look to the culture of fascism. There, we will find “microfascism,” or the ways in which a fascist way of understanding the world is generated from the hatreds that suffuse our everyday life. Drawing on Deleuze and Guattari, Bratich investigates a political ontology of fascist subjectivity. Before there is a fascist movement, he notes, there is a fascist body that can move or be moved. By highlighting the misogyny at fascism’s core and “becoming-man” as a key process of subjectivation we are able to observe the formation of a fascist body enacted through everyday sexism as well as feminicide. This body is also formed through appeals to recover the subjects created by earlier foundational wars. By focusing on the variety of ways the resurgent fascist tendency tarries with its own destruction (and thereby the destruction of others) we can trace how fascism refines and expands the necropolitics that underpin capitalist, colonial, and patriarchal systems. The implications of On Microfascism are unsettling. The seeds of the fascist worldview, it suggests, may be more widespread than we think. Still, Bratich insists, the new fascism is not as powerful as its adherents wish us to believe. To combat it, we must develop and defend a “micro-antifascism” rooted in the ethics of aid and care in the everyday. Rooted in an understanding of how the fascist body is constructed, we can develop the collective power to dismember it.

Through the unforgettable stories of five Atlanta families, this landmark work of journalism exposes a new and troubling trend—the dramatic rise of the “working homeless” in cities across America The working homeless. In a country where hard work and determination are supposed to lead to success, there is something scandalous about this phrase. But skyrocketing rents, low wages, and a lack of tenant rights have produced a startling People with full-time jobs cannot keep a roof over their head, especially in America’s booming cities, where rapid growth is leading to catastrophic displacement. These families are being forced into homelessness not by a failing economy but a thriving one. In this gripping and deeply reported book, Brian Goldstone plunges readers into the lives of five Atlanta families struggling to remain housed in a gentrifying, increasingly unequal city. Maurice and Natalia make a fresh start in the country’s “Black Mecca” after being priced out of DC. Kara dreams of starting her own cleaning business while mopping floors at a public hospital. Britt scores a coveted housing voucher. Michelle is in school to become a social worker. Celeste toils at her warehouse job while undergoing treatment for ovarian cancer. Each of them aspires to provide a decent life for their children—and each of them, one by one, joins the ranks of the nation’s working homeless. Through intimate, novelistic portraits, Goldstone reveals the human cost of this crisis, following parents and their kids as they go to sleep in cars, or in squalid extended-stay hotel rooms, and head out to their jobs and schools the next morning. These are the nation’s hidden homeless—omitted from official statistics, and proof that overflowing shelters and street encampments are only the most visible manifestation of a far more pervasive problem. By turns heartbreaking and urgent, There Is No Place for Us illuminates the true magnitude, causes, and consequences of the new American homelessness—and shows that it won’t be solved until housing is treated as a fundamental human right.
