L’imprevedibile accade (The Unpredictable Happens) is a journey through the turbulence of our times. From politics to climate, economics to media, science to art, our daily lives are filled with constant surprises, big and small, that often disorient us, sometimes enlighten us, and inevitably test us. To face the unpredictable – without being overwhelmed by it – we need new perspectives, agile tools and up-to-date maps. This book attempts to offer them, exploring disparate and intertwined phenomena: life and death, error and discovery, crisis and change, chaos and miracle. Figures of the unpredictable that shape contemporary reality – from our smartphone feeds to the (un)predictable choices of Trump or Musk. With lucidity and passion, Franciscu Sedda accompanies us into a world where the unexpected is no longer the exception, but the rule. A compass book to guide us through the storm of the 21st century and try to make a large, complex and surprising world habitable once again.
