Are we so focused on saving the world that we’re forgetting how to care for it?  

Rushkoff explores the paralyzing ambient terror of the meta-crisis, polycrisis, and impending societal collapse. Recounting a transformative personal experience sitting at the bedside of a dying relative, Rushkoff re-evaluates the urge to fix everything through abstract strategies and grand interventions.

Instead of treating the future as an engineering problem to solve, what happens if we shift from being agents of change to agents of care? What if our most radical act of resistance isn't another techno-fix or activist bypass, but serving as death doulas for a failing industrial system, and birth doulas for the human-centered world waiting to take its place?
