Weirding Civilization

The Strange Foundations of the Modern World

Beschreibung

Weirding Civilization examines the irrational foundations of civilization, from the Bronze Age to the Anthropocene. Inspired by Twin Peaks and Lovecraftian horror, it reveals how weirdness â disorienting, monstrous, and ambivalent â has shaped human society since the rise of the first complex civilizations.
