Synopsis

Rope Binding History explores the surprisingly significant role of rope and cordage in shaping human civilization. This book examines how the seemingly simple technology of fiber twisting has been instrumental in construction, shipping, and agriculture across diverse cultures and millennia. For instance, rope-based systems were crucial for moving massive stones in ancient architecture, and the development of rigging enabled extensive maritime exploration and trade. The book highlights the properties of different fibers like hemp, flax, and cotton and their impact on rope's tensile strength and durability. It argues that rope making, often overlooked, is a key driver in human development.

 
Unfolding chapter by chapter, the book first introduces fiber properties, then delves into case studies from ancient Egypt to pre-Columbian Americas, analyzing rope types, production methods, and their impact on various industries. By contrasting rope-making techniques across cultures and time, Rope Binding History challenges the linear view of technological advancement. It's a valuable read for those interested in history, technology, and material culture, offering a comprehensive account of an underappreciated technology and its lasting legacy.

    Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom, must undergo the fatigues of supporting it." - Thomas Paine 
    We are witnessing a systematic teardown of democracy worldwide. This book will help you make sense of the world, understand how this could happen, and consider what we can do as ordinary citizens to flip the script on authoritarians. 
    We are in a perpetual struggle between authoritarian rule and the enduring resilience of freedom, also known as Democracy. This resilience, this unwavering strength, is not just a concept but a beacon of hope that inspires us to fight for our freedom of choice. 
    Having peace of mind, understanding how the world works, and seeing real-world examples are priceless, as shown in this book. However, beware that the who, how, and what is being done to dismantle democracy is terrifying to learn. You need to start with a willingness to hold the knowledge; once you have it, there is no forgetting it and no turning back. In the last 80 years, Democracy, to date, has not offered up a defense. Hence, we have been slowly taken off course. We need to fortify our defenses and go on the offense. 
    President Ronald Reagan said it best: 
    "Freedom is a fragile thing, and it's never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by way of inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people. And those in world history who have known freedom and then lost it have never known it again." 
    Here's a not-so-fun fact: you have a six times greater chance of being killed living under an authoritarian regime than you do living and fighting for Democracy (TUCCILLE, 2014). Reading this book will give you the same peace of mind and sense of purpose that we all long for. We have to have purpose in wanting to live free and safe. That must be our eternal focus because freedom is not a given.

    The present has the texture of the future. Hyper-digitalization has made all questions outdated, especially: what are we going to do? For decades, we have been inhabiting and moving within the Digital Environment. Today, the unavoidable question is: what and who are we going to be? 
    Digital Pilgrims proposes novel and urgent debates for a society that has been digitalizing itself for over fifty years. Our coexistence with mature artificial intelligences demands definitions. We are cyborgs moving in environments that exceed time and space, humans in search of meaning for this quantum reality.  
    It is not difficult to speculate about possible futures; the real challenge is to find a path forward in the face of the singularity that is starting to reveal itself, and in the face of the social impact we are just beginning to see. In the middle of the explosion, this book outlines the debates we cannot put off any longer. There are no answers here but rather a guide for us to finally discuss how to orient ourselves on this dizzying voyage.
