Generally, I don't participate into editorial hypes. Not because I'm a snob, but just because I'm distracted: I've my own infinite list of books to read and I focus on that. I know that I'll reach the hyped book when I'm ready for it. This time I made an exception and I started reading The Dawn of Everything by Graeber (RIP) and Wengrow. Oh boy, what a monumental book. Each page a Rubik cube-like twist of historical certainties, every section a dramatic reconsideration of the way we think of society and civilization. Intellectual rigor, crystalline prose, engaging storytelling. A non-fiction book, of the most lucid kind, the reads like a novel. I'm hooked.

@entreprecariat This made me even more convinced I need to pick this up ASAP. Looks like one of those books that can influence your worldview at best.

@entreprecariatcoastal TOT Ce ee oe —beck and Grier 2012; Ritchie et al. 2016.Sannai Maruyama, the largest and most impressive Jomon site, was Ioccupied between 3900 and 2300 BC, and lies in the Aomori Prefecturein northern Japan. Habu and Fawcett (2008) provide a lively account ofthe site’s discovery, reception and contemporary interpretation. Forbroader discussions of Jomon material culture, settlement patterns anduses of the environment see Takahashi and Hosoya 2003; Habu 2004;Kobayashi 2004; Matsui and Kanehara 2006; Crema 2013. It’s worthnoting that the ancient Jomon have been infiltrating modern conscious-ness in other ways too: the distinctive ‘rope pattern’ aesthetics of theirhighly crafted ceramics provided the graphic template for one of Nin-tendo’s most popular video games, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of theWild. Jomon seems quite at home in the digital age.34. In Europe, the term ‘Mesolithic’ refers to the history of fisher-hunter-— gt tee Age. including their first encounters with farming3}
