How Do You Want To Die? by award-winning Indonesian journalist Antonia Timmerman explores how we stay alive amidst the endless news of death. It’s not just about physical survival, but spiritual thriving. With genocides, the burning planet, corrupt elites, diminishing jobs and insects, outbreaks, and the dystopian present of techno-solutionism all unfolding at once, this is the reality of our generation and, if we're not careful, for many more to come. What this book ruly asks is how we want to live. How do we maintain our dignity and humanity in this dog-eat-dog world? Part commentary on the issues Timmerman has reported on over the years, this collage of poems is also her journey in building endurance, seeking hope, and above all, insisting on love.

How Do You Want To Die? karya jurnalis pemenang penghargaan asal Indonesia, Antonia Timmerman, mengeksplorasi bagaimana kita tetap hidup di tengah berita kematian yang tiada henti. Buku ini tidak hanya membahas tentang bertahan secara fisik, tetapi juga berkembang secara spiritual. Dengan genosida, planet yang terbakar, elit yang korup, berkurangnya pekerjaan dan serangga, wabah, dan distopia dari techno-solutionism yang terjadi secara bersamaan, inilah realitas generasi kita dan, jika kita tidak berhati-hati, bagi banyak generasi mendatang. Apa yang sebenarnya buku ini tanyakan adalah bagaimana kita ingin hidup. Bagaimana kita mempertahankan martabat dan kemanusiaan kita di dunia yang keras ini? Sebagai komentar tentang isu-isu yang Timmerman laporkan selama bertahun-tahun, kolase puisi ini juga merupakan perjalanannya dalam membangun ketangguhan, mencari harapan, dan di atas segalanya, menegaskan cinta.
