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

I am enjoying Yanis Varoufakis's Another Now. The way we live is
not inevitable

important

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

There is something exciting, even invigorating, about envisioning
this world alongside Varoufakis ... one finishes Another Now
buzzing with a sense of possibility

Another Now is structurally, ideologically and linguistically an
extraordinary work
*Zoe Williams*
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 Wire*
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
*Guardian*
