Summary

There is so much to be afraid of in our current moment: climate catastrophe, the rise of a new fascism, a virus that has reshaped the way we live. But something better is possible.

We can choose to turn away from an uncaring world and instead build a world where we stand compassionately as one.

In Together, award-winning political thinker, author and poet, Ece Temelkuran provides an inspiring manifesto for change, reveals fresh possibilities for the better world we might want to live in and gives us a new vocabulary for the political action that the 21st century asks of humankind.

Critic reviews

"An unvarnished manifesto for positive political and social change." (Irish Times)

"'Behind every great woman is a female group chat.' Here is Ece. Her genius is to dismantle the power with unexpected irony, to bring you inside the understanding of the present by giving you a scalpel and a flower. Read this book: you will bleed and you will feel protected at the same time. It's the magic of Ece Temelkuran." (Roberto Saviano, author of Gamorrah)

"I am giving Temelkuran’s Together to everyone I know. So clear-eyed, frank, wise and joyous! An obligatory book for any human on earth today." (Andrew Sean Greer, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Less)

Striking thesis for a positive future

Ece outlines a clear, clever route to a better future, appealing to the hippy in me.

Simple feel-good self-help for women

Half way through but without enough interest to continue. Too self referential, with continuous use of I-me-my. The good guys are all female and the few males are anonymous at best and weak at worst.

No-one will take exception to the simple message that the weak can overcome the strong, that solidarity can face down tyranny, that hope is better than despair. However, the telling of that message is superficial, presented with unappealing style and offers no new insights.
