Rune Lykkeberg: Kindness is a Defence Against Fascism

On 3 September, Rune Lykkeberg presents his new book, "Kindness as a Defence Against Fascism", at Tranquebar Boghandel. The book draws on interviews with prominent intellectuals of our time - including Naomi Klein and Giuliano da Empoli - and explores paths to peace and constructive ways of responding to the major conflicts of our era.

Lykkeberg describes the current situation as difficult and overwhelming, yet points out that we live in an intellectual golden age and a passionately mobilized period. What it demands of us - in thought and action - to reach a more peaceful world is the book's central question.

If you know Lykkeberg's work, expect the conversation to range widely: from American economic political science to science fiction authors' perspectives on the green transition, before the answer emerges.
