Dissipation: Sustaining a Living Self in a Disintegrating Universe

By Jerry Hu

We are told that if we plan better, work harder, and want it enough, we can hold everything together. But in a universe that is always running down, the cost of staying afloat is real-and rarely acknowledged.

Dissipation is a meditation on that cost. Blending science, story, and honest reflection, Jerry Hu explores the hidden currencies of daily life: the energy it takes to maintain what matters, the whirlpools that keep us moving, and the quiet truth that not every collapse becomes a beginning.

A book for anyone who has mistaken the cost of holding things together for a personal failing-and is ready to understand it differently.
