The essays in Zero Point ask how we distinguish defeat from disaster, and how we confront despair without collapsing into it - questions never more pertinent than the current moment in the wake of electoral victories for authoritarian populists and unceasing news of violent atrocities.

If I’ve learned anything from my new life it’s that you can run, but you can’t hide, especially from your past. When the lies and secrets come out, I take matters into my own hands. This queen knows how to rise from the ashes and rule.
