"Through his deft ethnography, Joshua Moses is able to show that 9/11, now fading into collective memory, crystallized something we are all still living with. We are haunted by the possibility that we will wake up to a once familiar landscape made suddenly strange—like a Manhattan suddenly without its Twin Towers. For Moses, this prefigures the changes we will all face with rising sea levels, balmy winters, and the like. Anxious Experts is an ethnography of that anxiety, how it came to be, and how it continues to sit with us, as we face an uncertain future." (Eduardo Kohn, McGill University)
