- Despite its many burdens, the body remains a source of power, even in an era as technologized and automated as our own. <i>Everybody</i> is an examination of the forces arranged against freedom and a celebration of how ordinary human bodies can resist oppression and reshape the world. Drawing on her own experiences in protest and alternative medicine, and travelling from Weimar Berlin to the prisons of McCarthy-era America, Olivia Laing grapples with some of the most significant and complicated figures of the past century, among them Nina Simone, Christopher Isherwood, Andrea Dworkin, Sigmund Freud, Susan Sontag and Malcolm X. <b>A celebration of how ordinary human bodies can resist oppression and reshape the world.</b>
