Nothing To Envy, a compelling book authored by Barbara Demick, is a captivating exploration into the lives of ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances. Published by Granta Books in 2010, this piece of literature is a must-read for those interested in understanding the humanistic perspective of life under severe conditions. The genre of the book is hard to pin down, as it skillfully intertwines elements of biography, history, and social commentary. Demick, an award-winning journalist, brings to life the stories of six North Koreans over fifteen years—a chaotic period that saw the death of Kim Il-sung, the unchallenged rise to power of his son Kim Jong-il, and the devastation of a far-ranging famine that killed one-fifth of the population. The book is a remarkable testament to the spirit of the human will and the enduring desire for freedom. So, if you're looking for a thought-provoking read that will stay with you long after you've turned the last page, Nothing To Envy is the book for you.

"I am not asking you to agree with me. In fact, I'd be happier if you didn't. I am afraid of self-censorship in a place of supposed radicalism like a liberal arts school because I am afraid that one day we will all be too afraid of being wrong."We grew up on the internet, or the Internet, as it was originally known - a proper noun, a place to visit and explore, before we claimed it as everybody's, turning it into a place where we pay bills, shop, fall in love, where kids get past parental controls to come of age. Honor Levy lends her experience to the narrators of these propulsive, provocative and pill-fuelled dispatches, speaking to the malleable reality we all inhabit, where clicks, codes, unreliable words and memes shape identities, personas and reputations. In My First Book, Honor Levy endeavors to contextualize Gen-Z, a generation of young people desperate to discern what matters in a world that paints every event as a catastrophe. Irony is the salve of choice, and Levy deploys it masterfully. She paints the chasm in understanding between her parents' generation and the Zoomer reality overloaded with niche signs and meanings.
