A powerful and unflinching portrayal of our current reality, written by ROB DELANEY.

A passionate call to action that we should all heed, written by LADY BRENDA HALE.
A groundbreaking book that sheds light on the hidden side of the care crisis, helping us to reimagine our world and place caregiving at its center.
When Emily Kenway found herself in the challenging role of caring for her cancer-stricken mother, her life was forever altered. Although she felt lonely, she was far from alone: millions of people around the world are quietly providing care for their unwell, elderly, or disabled loved ones. For many, this is a full-time job, saving economies billions. However, the human cost remains largely overlooked.
Why are caregivers predominantly women? As families shrink, how can we ensure adequate care? Can care robots be the solution? And what role does death anxiety play in all of this?
Through meticulous investigation, "Who Cares?" poses essential questions about the root causes of our global and individual care crisis.
Skillfully blending memoir with forensic research and the voices of caregivers from diverse locations such as Norway, Nepal, and Nebraska, "Who Cares?" is a must-read for anyone who has ever cared for or will receive care from another person, which essentially means everyone.
