Emergent Strategy: Shaping Change, Changing Worlds (Emergent Strategy Series)
In the tradition of Octavia Butler, radical self-help, society-help, and planet-help to shape the futures we want.
Inspired by Octavia Butler's explorations of our human relationship to change, Emergent Strategy is radical self-help, society-help, and planet-help designed to shape the futures we want to live. Change is constant. The world is in a continual state of flux. It is a stream of ever-mutating, emergent patterns. Rather than steel ourselves against such change, this book invites us to feel, map, assess, and learn from the swirling patterns around us in order to better understand and influence them as they happen. This is a resolutely materialist "spirituality" based equally on science and science fiction, a visionary incantation to transform that which ultimately transforms us.

Community Reviews
I was hoping for more community strategies but this is more a self help biography sprinkled with social justice history book and interviews. The self evolved 40 page introduction sets the tone for the entire book.
Adrienne’s “how to task list” are superficially reviewed with her encouragements of we can do better and examples in nature.
Given all the endless quotes and over use of foot notes of others works just shows that she has not discovered her own voice or actions.
