    The ultimate hidden truth of the world is that it is something that we make, and could just as easily make differently.

        A good starting point (since it’s not too long) would be There Never Was A West or (longer but still manageable) Bullshit Jobs. I belong to the people who enjoyed both Debt and The Dawn Of Everything from cover to cover.

          Yeah I was thinking The Dawn of Everything is probably the most valuable of his writings to read. It’s long, but it demonstrates how everything can be different and it’s entertaining and fascinating the whole way through.

          Though I’ll put A Utopia of Rules in next to Bullshit Jobs for the “you know stuff sucks, let’s discuss it” category of his writing.
