The Last Counter: Notes on navigating a world that was not designed for you

By Edward Sterling

A JOURNEY THROUGH THE SMALL MOMENTS THAT STILL MAKE LIFE HUMANE.

From the television in your living room to the counter behind the clinic desk, from the parking meter to the patient portal-our world is changing faster than our ability to keep up.

In this profound, wryly funny, and deeply moving collection of real-life encounters, Edward Sterling explores the quiet erosion of places-and people-who once made space for us.

But even as systems become colder and more distant, acts of ordinary kindness still survive.

This is a book about loss and about the last places where we are still seen.
