Un libro para esos momentos en donde uno pierde la fe en la humanidad. Muy interesante y creo que esta al alcance de la comprensión de cualquiera. Para volver a leer cada tanto.

In 2021, it is too soon to hear the word "unprecedented" twice in an audiobook made in 2017.
But it's a nice quick read/listen and seems like it'll be an evergreen boost for believing that humans are actually able to change things, which is something we do need almost 2 years into a pandemic while the world is literally burning, or literally freezing, or literally flooding, everywhere. A good reminder to get on your feet when you can. Homeless encampments aren't inevitable, this pandemic won't last forever (some places have actually gotten a hold of it, just not the US), we can stop some of the climate disaster.

another part of the puritan legacy is the belief that no one should have joy or abundance until everyone does, a belief that’s austere at one end, in the deprivation it endorses, and fantastical in the other, since it awaits a universal utopia. joy sneaks in anyway, abundance cascades forth uninvited.this collection seemed, to me, to meander at times. but i greatly appreciated the fact that solnit went into some detail about historical moments like occupy wall street, which i was too young at the time to understand or evaluate for myself.
