This collection of Arundhati Roy’s early political essays ranges from the iconic ‘The End of Imagination’ and ‘The Greater Common Good’ about India’s nuclear tests and the dam industry to the equally influential ‘The Algebra of Infinite Justice’ about the 9/11 attacks and the US government’s War Against Terror. Suffused with intelligence and shot through with cold fury, these writings established Roy as a major political thinker whose voice, as Naomi Klein says, ‘turns our grief and rage into courage’.
