"Now is Better" is a visually stunning book that encourages long-term thinking and highlights global improvements. Conceived during the 2020 pandemic, the book uses data and historical art to illustrate societal progress and future potential. With vivid graphs, 19th-century paintings, embroidered canvases, lenticular prints, and hand-painted water glasses, Stefan Sagmeister showcases how life has improved for most people, countering the negativity prevalent in today's news cycles. His work aims to inspire gratitude and optimism about the future.
