This book is an invitation to celebrate disorder as a practice that helps us deal with what’s coming. Rather than redesigning the world to feel safer, we can create and preserve a culture that acknowledges disorder while cultivating local and small-scale moments that help us adapt to changing conditions.
Disorder deserves praise. It helps us imagine new stories and conceptual metaphors, diversifies the solutions we draw upon in response to change, and liberates us from the relentless pace of modern life. Through practices of lingering, interrupting, theorizing, ritualizing, and beating the bounds, we can each break down the categories by which we make sense of experience and imagine new ones that are better suited to the world we’re in.
