I saw this book on another post - and so went and found a copy at a 2nd hand book shop…
Looking forward to lunches at work with a cup of tea and maybe a couple of rainy Sundays at home…

Who counts as human? Throughout history, one all too common thread is that groups of people often do not believe that other groups of people are also #human. If we evolved apart so that we were different species, would we recognize our shared humanity? This week I’m offering free copies of my just released novel HUMAN to the fediverse . Just go to bretthodnett.com/FreeHUMAN.htm and use the code ‘fedihuman’.

bretthodnett.comHUMANA remarkable exploration of family, society, and what makes us human, HUMAN will take you from the post-apocalyptic world of the near future, to the two very different societies that emerge 15 million years later, where those few surviving individuals have evolved to become something that we might not fully recognize as human.

A parcel arrived at my house today which was meant for someone else, and I was pleased to pass on to the rightful recipient, a #school child. It contained a #book, distributed by the local council and #DollyParton's Imagination Library. If only everyone who was lucky enough to become very wealthy were like Dolly. In the books of the future, it will be people like Dolly who will be the examples we'll tell our children to emulate

“…when Ken [Ring] sent me his thoughts on my new book LSD and the Mind of the Universe, I received them with great anticipation. In them he raised some important questions about the ontological trustworthiness of deep psychedelic experience, and I responded. In the end, we thought our exchange might be interesting to people interested in psychedelics, and so we share it here.”
