Our upcoming read is Václav Havel’s incandescent essay, The Power of the Powerless (1978), a clear-eyed exploration of how systems sustain themselves through everyday performances of conformity, and how “living within truth” begins as a personal practice with civic consequences.
Havel’s famous “greengrocer” vignette opens a door onto questions that feel freshly wired to the present: what we signal to stay safe, what we repeat to belong, and what becomes possible when we refuse to participate in the script.
