I cannot recommend this book enough, it was so eye opening to perceive the world as a collection of choices made by designers across time. And with their creations they have set in stone their ideologies and vision.

probably the most important, game changing book i’ve ever read. should be mandatory, especially if you live in a current or former colonial state

this book has galvanized me to change something about my lifestyle/outlook in a way no book has in a loooong time. if you’ve ever wondered what a solution to the climate crisis could look like that doesn’t rely on the state enforcing top-down solutions at the cost of individual liberties, doesn’t rely on capitalist corporations selling you technology to profit from crisis and that causes exploitation in the foreign countries where its raw materials are extracted from, doesn’t divert responsibility onto individuals by insisting it’s your fault for not using metal straws, and doesn’t bank on wishful thinking that AI will provide a lifestyle of luxury for all, but that instead emphasizes reprioritizing connection to community and communal self governance, meaningful labor and a sustainable work life balance, the human right to their environment, and an economic shift towards prioritizing practical use over scarcity-based profiteering, then this book is for you. we will have to stop growing our global economy though, but it’s actually going to be better that way.

Just the repression and representation of queer longing in the song is incredible, and the connection to themes of land and space just hits hard

It’s nice to see seemingly disconnected items orchestrate a bigger picture that seems cohesive from afar but expands to individual people, moments and places
