“Was not their mistake once more bred of the life of slavery that they had been living?—a life which was always looking upon everything, except mankind, animate and inanimate—‘nature,’ as people used to call it—as one thing, and mankind as another, it was natural to people thinking in this way, that they should try to make ‘nature’ their slave, since they thought ‘nature’ was something outside them” — William Morris

Books, Books, Books

Nice chat with Andy. Made me realize that I know what I'm doing now when it comes to writing books. It wasn't always that way. I made some suggestions for how to turn his remarkable dissertation into a book, and I think they were good.

Talking of which, I've trawled every hyperobjects post and everything is now in place. Now I have to look through my database. I am nothing if not thorough...I have 27mb of notes in this thing. I've put a "not yet inserted" label on the hyperobjects things I might want to include, so hopefully I'll be able to find everything.

Would you feel inclined to elaborate on your suggestions to Andy about turning his dissertation into a book or were they peculiar to his dissertation?
