informative

5.0

Very good book! Slightly outdated (was published in 2006 I believe) but it is still fantastic. It is easily divided into logical categories, and reading the introduction makes it WAY better. It’s divided into past, present, and future societies. The writing is easy to understand, and annotating it is great too. Best of all, it’s mildly hopeful.

Each chapter is different, I would suggest googling each one separately for individual triggers that might be in it :)
