Now-Time – Issue 1: A Whirlpool in the River of Becoming, 2025

Now-Time is a research and publishing project coordinating a multiplicity of historical lines oriented towards present activity. We aim to relink design, critical consciousness, and social-historical perspective. With collaborators we create new works that move through the maze of what has been, and transform those old works that speak indirectly but lucidly to the present situation.

I’ve started reading The Wool trilogy by Hugh Howey. As a non-native English speaker I’m finding it a bit difficult to read, in the form…idk why, it’s not flowing.
