“In some ways, it was almost a natural preamble. A kind of counterpart for what we’re gonna be talking about today. That session, you’ll remember, was called, ‘The Alternate World.’ And it was a beautiful exposition of how to think about the imaginary. How do we make a world that doesn’t exist? And in some ways, our project today is the obverse of that. We are, as nonfiction writers, talking about what might be called, ‘The Inescapable World.’ The world as it is… the world that we live in, which does not relieve us of the need for imagination when it comes to solutions. But it means that we’re contending with the facts on the ground. All of the people here… all of us are contending with the facts of our geopolitical moment.”
