From the first page, his courage is contagious. Naomi Klein, author of The Shock Doctrine

Demand the Impossible! Provides the imperative we need now. As p[;ublic consciousness and despair heighten in our various locales, we must be willing to engage lessons from the past and present while building a future that is reflective of our commitment to justice. If were serious about this, we know there is no choice: All we got is US!
