    I for one welcome the return of David Graeber’s zombie.

    I have no idea who he is, I was just making a joke saying this was a weird viral marketing campaign. Have you read his books? If so were they good and what genre were they?

    Not op, but very good, kinda economic/political theory books, he was probably most famous for "Bullshit Jobs" , but "Debt: The first 5000 years" also holds up especially well.

    Ah, interesting... That completely changes how I interpreted the message. I thought it was just like "stop using social media for quick dopamine, read long form books" but it's like "stop using Twitter and learn how money actually works" type of message.

    It's less "learn how money works" and more "learn different ways society has been organized, which will enable you to imagine ways in which you can change it for the better"

    But yeah he was a great author, highly recommend

    In addition to what the other comments said, he also coauthored a book about the development of modern western society called The Dawn of Everything. It’s about a ton of stuff but I’d say it primarily looks at social organization and freedom. I really highly recommend it.

    Also Jason Pargin! He’s got a new book coming out soon called There Are No Giant Crabs in This Novel: A Novel of Giant Crabs.

    Also, listen to Bigfeets.
