@mouse hmmm, that’s an interesting take. I enjoyed the one Chandler book I read before, but definitely thought it went on a bit too long, which put me off reading more.
For generations, our remote ancestors have been cast as primitive and childlike--either free and equal innocents, or thuggish and warlike. …

I think I hate Capaldi because deep down I suspect he may be right. That what he claims is true. That science has now proved beyond doubt there's nothing so unique about my daughter, noth- ing there our modern tools can't excavate, copy, transfer. That people have been living with one another all this time, centuries, loving and hating each other, and all on a mistaken premise. A kind of superstition we kept going while we didn't know better.

He talked about it on littleatoms.com/podcast/little-atoms-680-courttia-newlands-river-called-time and it sounds like it was the project he kept putting off then coming back, and honestly it showed.
@fionnain ooh, I recently read his A River Called Time, and have been interested in other books.
