In this brilliant selection of essays, Margaret Atwood offers her funny, erudite, endlessly curious, and uncannily prescient take on everything from debt and tech to the climate crisis and freedom and the importance of how to define granola-and seeks answers to Burning Questions such as: Why do people everywhere, in all cultures, tell stories? How much of yourself can you give away without evaporating? What do zombies have to do with authoritarianism? In more than fifty pieces, Atwood aims her prodigious intellect and impish humour at the world, and reports back to us on what she finds.
