Critics Review
The most interesting man in the world
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 – Alfonso Cuarón, Oscar-winning Director of Roma and Gravity
A landmark work … A vision of a new society with new ways of thinking is possibly the most important thing an artist can offer at the moment – Brian Eno
I am enjoying Yanis Varoufakis’s Another Now. The way we live is not inevitable – Jeanette Winterson
I could not recommend this more. If you’re looking for a sense of optimism, a sense of political possibility, this book is very important – Owen Jones
From @yanisvaroufakis’ sf novel ANOTHER NOW, the absolute best description of the scam of #InvestmentBanking I’ve ever read * Cory Doctorow on Twitter *
There is something exciting, even invigorating, about envisioning this world alongside Varoufakis … one finishes Another Now buzzing with a sense of possibility * The Monthly *
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 – Matthew Taylor, RSA
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 *
