The Gretchen Question

The phrase ‘climate change’ induces helplessness and moral anxiety in almost everyone. How do we manage this sense of impotence and hopelessness? Gretchen bears witness to the discoveries of world exploration at the Royal Society in the late 18th century. Maisie is an influencer with a questionable new brand partnership. Lulit is in turmoil, struggling to remember what happened to her last night. Through these interwoven stories, The Gretchen Question dissects how we have arrived at the current climate emergency.
