We live in an interesting time. Materially, everything is the best it’s ever been—we are freer, healthier and wealthier than any people in human history. Yet, somehow everything seems to be irreparably and horribly f*cked—the planet is warming, governments are failing, economies are collapsing, and everyone is perpetually offended on Twitter. At this moment in history, when we have access to technology, education and communication our ancestors couldn’t even dream of, so many of us come back to an overriding feeling of hopelessness.
Everthing Is F*cked draws from mountains of psychological research, as well as the timeless wisdom of philosophers such as Plato and Nietzsche, to dissect religion and politics and the uncomfortable ways they have come to resemble one another.
