I’m interviewing Deb Chachra at Bookpeople
Later this month I’m interviewing my friend Deb Chachra about her book, How Infrastructure Works.
Details about the event are here.
Mandy Brown wrote about the book in a recent post, “Against Optimization”:
Optimization presumes a kind of certainty about the circumstances one is optimizing for, but that certainty is, more often than not, illusory…. Another way to look at this is that you cannot optimize for resilience. Resilience requires a kind of elasticity, an ability to stretch and reach but then to return, to spring back into a former shape—or perhaps to shapeshift into something new if the circumstances require it. Resilience is stretchy where optimization is brittle; resilience invites change where optimization demands continuity.
This is exactly the kind of thing I’ve been writing about in another project about building creative environments, so it’ll be fun to revisit the book and come up with good questions for Deb.
