Editorial illustration for issue 1608 of UK newspaper The Big Issue. The article "What we owe to the Worm that wasn't squished" introduces the book "Fluke, Chance, Chaos and Why Everything Matters" by Brian Klaas. The author writes about the philosophical concept "amor fati" (love one's fate).
We are the culmination of everything that came before us. When you look in the mirror, you see generational composites of your parents, grandparents and ancestors, tracing back human lineage hundreds of millions of years. He entertrains the thought of finding new meaning in a world defined by disorder, chance and chaos and tries to join the pieces together into a new picture that reframes our sense of who we are and how our world works.
