Abby Bloom wants us to face an uncomfortable truth: we need a lot more space and time for care in our culture. A rapidly aging population – living twenty to thirty years longer than the generations preceding – means we’re going to have to rethink and redesign our lives, our work, and our whole civilisation, so we don’t disappear beneath a burden of care that no one can bear alone. How do we make that transition? Abby’s new book, The Cost of Not Caring, offers some suggestions. It’s the shadow looming over all our bright futures – and it’s front and centre on THE NEXT BILLION SECONDS.
Big thanks to the crew at SxSW Sydney for making this happen!
