    The best new writing, photography, art, and reportage from and about California—in the “rich and engrossing” series for travelers and armchair travelers (Times Literary Supplement). 
     
    From the Gold Rush to Hollywood’s golden age to the rise of Silicon Valley, California has long stood as the brightest symbol of the American dream. In recent years, however, the country’s mainstream media has been declaring with increasing frequency—and thinly veiled schadenfreude—the “end of California as we know it.” 
     
    The pessimists point to rising inequality, racial tensions, and the impact of climate change as evidence that the Californian dream has been shattered. Between extreme heat, months-long droughts, devastating wildfires, and rising sea levels, looking at California is like watching the trailer for what awaits the world if we don’t act to reduce global warming. Faced with these pressures, more and more Californians are leaving the state, leading to an unprecedented decline in population that could change the cultural and political balance of power in the country at large. 
     
    That said, demographic decline and climate disasters don’t tell the whole story of one of the most dynamic and diverse states in the Union—one that continues to drive technological and political innovation and define the evolution of work, food, entertainment, and social relations. This volume offers a fascinating picture of California in all its complexity and contradictions—an attempt to understand the laboratory where much of the world’s future continues to be written—with pieces including: 
     
    Growing Uncertainty in the Central Valley by Anna Wiener • How Does It Feel to Be a Solution? by Vanessa Hua • The Burning of Paradise by Mark Arax • Plus: direct democracy and unsustainable development, the rise of the “land back” movement, the cultural renaissance of Los Angeles in defiance of rampant gentrification, and much more . . .  
     
    “The Passenger readers will find none of the typical travel guide sections on where to eat or what sights to see. Consider the books, rather, more like a literary vacation.” —Publishers Weekly

    Egyptian mythology is one of the most fascinating and enduring belief systems in human history. Rooted in the ancient civilization along the Nile, these myths shaped the religious, social, and political landscape of Egypt for thousands of years. Unlike many other mythologies, Egyptian beliefs were not static; they evolved over time, incorporating new deities, merging legends, and adapting to the needs of the people. The gods and stories of Egypt were deeply intertwined with daily life, influencing everything from temple rituals to the rule of pharaohs. Understanding Egyptian mythology provides insight into the values, fears, and aspirations of one of history’s most influential civilizations.  
      
    The origins of Egyptian mythology date back to the early dynastic period and possibly even before. Ancient Egyptians believed that the universe emerged from a vast, chaotic primordial ocean called Nun. From this cosmic void, the first gods appeared, bringing order to existence. Myths about creation, divine rule, and the afterlife were passed down through oral traditions and recorded in hieroglyphic texts found on temple walls, coffins, and papyrus scrolls. These stories explained natural phenomena, justified the authority of the pharaohs, and provided a spiritual roadmap for the journey beyond death.  
      
    Mythology played a central role in ancient Egyptian life, influencing art, architecture, and governance. Temples were constructed as homes for the gods, and elaborate religious festivals reenacted mythological events to ensure cosmic balance. The pharaoh, considered the living embodiment of Horus and the son of Ra, was both a political and religious leader, serving as the bridge between the gods and the people. Myths were not merely symbolic; they were an active force shaping society’s structure and rituals.
