This is a transcript of a dialogue between Lisa Downing and Maggie Nelson about Nelson's recent book, On Freedom: Four Songs of Care and Constraint (2021). The interlocutors discuss the rise of cultural authoritarianism, the role of care in shaping and delimiting freedom, the ways in which freedom and care signify differently according to the sex of the 'free' subject, and the vexed question of what freedom will mean in an uncertain future foreshadowed by the spectre of climate change - and potential apocalypse
