  • I dropped Dr. Stone pretty quickly because the anthropological science was grating. It came about the same time I started reading Graeber & Wengrow’s book The Dawn of Everything which laid out evidence of significantly advanced political development and cultures tens of thousands of years ago.

    So the main character’s plan to rebuild civilisation from tech first seemed pretty bad.

    Then again, this is down to personal preferences. I prefer my post-apocalyptic sci-fi to be either quiet and contemplative like Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou, or witty dismembering of humanity and tech like Humanity has Declined.

    I like Cells at Work though. My biology background seeping through.
