From New York Times bestselling author and award-winning journalist Sarah Wilson comes a powerful, hopeful exploration of how to live with meaning in a world that feels like it’s coming undone.
Catastrophic fires and floods. Record heat. Political instability. AI and nuclear anxiety. Rising inequality and unrest. It’s hard to shake the sense that something is deeply wrong, that the systems we depend on are wobbling, or even collapsing altogether. In I Eat the Stars, Sarah Wilson argues that what we’re experiencing isn’t unique, but part of a pattern every complex civilisation has faced: systemic collapse.
So how do we keep living, loving, choosing, creating, when the ground feels unstable beneath our feet? Should we have children? Plan for the future? Invest, prepare, or opt out? And how do we stay open-hearted without tipping into doom and despair?
In conversation with HerCanberra’s Emma MacDonald, Sarah Wilson invites us into a courageous, compassionate discussion about how to live fully, beautifully and wisely through uncertain times—and why joy, meaning and tenderness still matter now more than ever.
