It discusses some very big topics like the nature of democracy, the nature of work, the birth of cultures, what is a revolution, and how to make one. The purpose of the book seems to be presenting some pathways for exploring what a foundation for anarchist theory could look like. I’m also not an anthropologist and not well-versed in anarchy, so bear with me :) Wow, what a book! This super short book is a page turner, I swallowed it in a couple of sittings during holidays and it was so incredibly transforming and taught me so much that now I want to keep reading more on these topics.ĭisclosure, I read the edition in Spanish, so I might have mistranslated some of my notes in English.

I can only but wonder what his future work would look like, but am happy he blessed us with his perspective while he was around. The more I read from him, the sadder I get that he passed away recently. The first one I read, Bullshit Jobs, is also in my list of favorites. This is the second book I read from him and it immediately joined the list of my favorite books.
