Told from the perspective of a dead character, Any Human Power somehow manages to explore both spiritual themes and the paths we might take towards building change-making communities with the help of technology.

It's got spirit guides, social media, World of Warcraft, lucid dreaming, regenerative practices, UK politics, and so much more. Yeah, I know. My head is still spinning.

If you're not afraid of a bit of woo and are looking for a thrutopia that shows “clear, engaging routes through to a world we’d all be proud to bequeath to future generations”, I highly encourage you to give this book a chance.
