And is it fair?\u003cbr\u003eWhat do zombies have to do with authoritarianism?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn over fifty pieces Atwood aims her prodigious intellect and impish humour at the world, and reports back to us on what she finds. This roller-coaster period brought the end of history, a financial crash, the rise of Trump, and a pandemic. From debt to tech, the climate crisis to freedom; from when to dispense advice to the young (answer: only when asked) to how to define granola, we have no better guide to the many and varied mysteries of our universe.","brand":"Margaret Atwood (CA)","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback Trade paperback (US)","offer_id":50014770856293,"sku":"9780771096426","price":26.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0851\/2651\/2997\/files\/BNCImageAPI_4c94550b-48d0-4c61-b881-6530698ed68b.jpg?v=1762370979","url":"https:\/\/www.commonplaceingersoll.ca\/products\/9780771096426","provider":"Commonplace Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
