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

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

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

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

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

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 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

One of my few heroes

The most interesting man in the world

With its mixture of exaggerated misanthropy and eloquent surrealism, Once Upon a Tome calls to mind the cult television sitcom Black Books, albeit with more emphasis on matters of genuine interest to bibliophiles.

Mr. Darkshire is a witty observer .... All of this-the craft and customs of an esoteric enterprise; the delights and irritations of buying and selling-is conveyed in charming short chapters with titles like "Kerfuffles," and in a prim tone perfectly suited to Mr. Darkshire's subject.

Sen's gentle memoir shed[s] light on the distant nooks of a long life of distinction. ... There is something of Tagore in the judicious Mr. Sen. He is an un?inching man of science but also insistently humane.

warmhearted, clear-eyed account of the formative years of his life, a book that reaches from Myanmar to Berkeley ... a testament to just how far, in one life, one man might go into that vast world ... Sen's writing style is even-keeled and gently humorous.

PRAISE FOR AMARTYA SEN

With his masterly prose, ease of erudition and ironic humour, Sen is one of the few great world intellectuals on whom we may rely to make sense out of our existential confusion

Amartya Sen is one of the most distinguished minds of our time [who] enjoyably mixes moments of profundity with flashes of mischievous provocation

The world's poor and dispossessed could have no more articulate or insightful a champion

An accessible and exceptional humanitarian

Sen is one of the great minds of both the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. We owe him a huge debt

A distinguished inheritor of the tradition of public philosophy and reasoning - Roy, Tagore, Gandhi, Nehru ... if ever there was a global intellectual, it is Sen
