In 2016, Shane Anderson made a vow to live according to the four core values of the Golden State Warriors to escape a decade of defeats-including divorce, debilitating spinal surgery and a suicide attempt. The basketball team's values of joy, mindfulness, compassion, and competition became Anderson's guiding principles, providing him a lens to investigate a myriad of social, personal, philosophical, and political issues, such as homelessness, the promises and failures of rave culture, and the limits of self-help. Part memoir, part essay, and part chronicle of the greatest five-year stretch of a team in NBA history, After the Oracle depicts the makes and misses of one expat trying to make a life worth living.
