Mar. 14th, 2026 02:16 pmThe Beginning Comes After the End: Notes on a World of Change, by Rebecca Solnit. This might be the best non-fiction book I’ve read in a long time. It is a very, very, very good book! Solnit is just a few months older than I am, and in this book she shows us that the world really has changed quite a lot in our lifetimes, in ways that emphasize how very much everything is interconnected. Her point is that a great many of us are on the right track, and that the reason we’re experiencing this big, authoritarian backlash is because the people who’ve had power for so long in Western civilization realize that they’re finally vulnerable. I’m definitely part of what she calls the “rising worldview,” and although I don’t know if I got any actual new information from this book (besides some references to books I’d be interested in reading), it is so encouraging to read her conclusions!
