"In A Short History of Progress Ronald Wright argues that our modern predicament is as old as civilization, a 10,000-year experiment we have participated in but seldom controlled. Only by understanding the patterns of triumph and disaster that humanity has repeated around the world since the Stone Age can we recognize the experiment's inherent dangers, and, with luck and wisdom, shape its outcome."

It's utterly fascinating. If you like that sort of thing.

Read that.  I thought it was a bit short.   Wink

I liked Jared Diamond's "Collapse" (it's about essentially the same thing) much better.

I think I might be about to break the world's record for the greatest number of yawns in the shortest period of time. Apparently, I need more than 5 hours of sleep a night.
