Panic Now?
Tools for Humanizing
Book • 2024
This book challenges the neoliberal injunction to “stay calm” and instead asks what might be made possible if we allowed ourselves to feel—and live with—our panic.
The book traces how the overlapping crises of climate change, late capitalism, and colonial legacies have produced a collective emotional numbness, even as our world becomes increasingly uninhabitable.
It offers listeners a profound reframing of emotional collapse not as weakness, but as a portal to collective possibility.
The book explores the epistemic realism of panic, historical insights on military discipline, and a speculative politics of reorganization rooted in solidarity.
It offers a hopeful invitation to “panic wisely. ”
