Equal parts exciting and unique. And also somewhat #StarWars-y, but in a good way.

Edgeryders · What David Graeber and David Wengrow's "The Dawn of Everything" has in common with sci-fi economicsPhoto: Dennis Jarvis CC-BY – link A few weeks ago, I finished David Graeber and David Wengrow’s The Dawn of Everything.
