Reviews

Combining a provocative thought-experiment with a deeply original sci-fi narrative, this book is both visionary in its search for new possibilities and realistic in its embrace of the complexities of our human nature

From @yanisvaroufakis' sf novel ANOTHER NOW, the absolute best description of the scam of #InvestmentBanking I've ever read

Another Now is structurally, ideologically and linguistically an extraordinary work

I've absolutely loved reading [Another Now] ... the second I started reading it, it surprised and intrigued me

Another Now is not only a marvellously good read - it is a notable addition to the literature of social change

The reason Varoufakis seems to have captured the imaginations of so many is that his words about the European crisis speak universal truths about democracy, capitalism and social policy
