Center for Science and the Imagination | Us in Flux: Conversations — Ecology, Naturalism, and Communities with Kij Johnson and Jessie Rack @imagineASU | Uploaded April 2020 | Updated October 2024, 33 minutes ago.
Us in Flux is a new series of short stories and virtual gatherings that explore themes of community, collaboration, and collective imagination in response to transformative events. Each week, we publish a new, original piece of flash fiction followed by a virtual chat with the author and their special guests.

In this installment, we chat with author Kij Johnson and ecologist Jessie Rack about “An Attempt at Exhausting My Deck,” Kij's story about backyard ecology, interspecies communities, careful observation, and solitude without loneliness.
