The nuance drought is having a devastating impact on every area of our lives. It dictates the way our politics is done and how the media reports, it affects our physical and mental health, and it impacts our relationships with friends and family. The world is increasingly polarised and the ability to consider shades of grey is being obliterated as we're encouraged to see the world in black and white. To shout louder. To double down and abandon critical thinking. It's time to stop. But how do we stop relying on clickbait narratives? How do we stop looking for simple answers to complex questions? In this fascinating book, campaigner and broadcaster Natasha Devon addresses questions like this and explores the lack of nuance in today's world, identifying it as one of the major issues facing modern society. Talking to a range of experts and celebrating the power of meaningful discourse, this book is a call to arms. It's time to elevate our conversations. It's time to end the nuance drought.
