The 217 Today Podcast
In today’s deep dive, an interview with The New Leaders of Illinois public media.
The 21st Show
George Packer is best known for his journalism. He's been a staff writer at The Atlantic magazine since 2018, and before that spent 15 years at The New Yorker. He’s also written books on American politics and foreign affairs. His previous books include The Assassins' Gate: America in Iraq (2005) and The Unwinding: An Inner History of the New America (2013).
Now, for the first time in decades, he’s written a novel, The Emergency. It’s about what happens when a government collapses, and new ways of life take root in a society. This is an allegorical story — Packer never specifies the time and place, and some aspects of their lives will be familiar to us (cars, advanced medicine) while others are kept deliberately strange (the absolute lack of digital technology).
Among the big questions posed by The Emergency are what happens to the social contract when society is upended? What should we do with our personal codes when the new order deems them outmoded? And how does one respond when the revolution is happening not just out in the streets, but at our own dinner tables?
