If #civilization began again from scratch, what kinds of societies would evolve next time? #Communal, #capitalist. #theocratic, #meritocratic, #secular, #egalitarian, #exploitive? Societies are usually a combination of these types, but do they always combine as we expect them to? Are our choices about the type of #society we create completely up to us, or are we constrained by the environment and circumstance? Tomorrow is the last day I’ll be giving away my novel HUMAN to FediHumans. Visit bretthodnett.com/FreeHUMAN.htm and use the code ‘fedihuman’ to get your free EPUB!

bretthodnett.comHUMANA remarkable exploration of family, society, and what makes us human, HUMAN will take you from the post-apocalyptic world of the near future, to the two very different societies that emerge 15 million years later, where those few surviving individuals have evolved to become something that we might not fully recognize as human.

I'm a voracious reader, but I'm one of those freakshows who likes physical #books. I can't do the #ebook thing. I've tried. But I'm also one of those people who has to have an environ to read. Music, candles, cuddly blankies, the kitty, but I haven't been able to read in bed because lack of lighting. So...I got a grow light 😁 minds are like flowers right? You need to illuminate them to grow. Reading Neil Gaiman's take on the Prose Edda. It's a little more...game of thrones-ey which is fun.
