This book is a lyrical journey through a pivotal part of my youth. It tells the story of my transformation from a product of my environment into the product of my own creation. It all starts with recognizing that my intense desire for love came from not receiving it at home from my parents and then trying to ­ find that love from someone else in the world. Through TV and media the narrative of ­ finding someone to love overtook my life. But through many experiences I learned that loving myself was my job to do. Yes, my environment raised me and instilled a lot into me both good and bad, but it is also my job as a responsible adult to address and change all the parts of me that no longer serve me. I tried on a lot of different hats and personalities to ­ find the kind of person that I wanted to be. When it was all said and done, the product of my creation is a new man that I can be proud of.

A theory of human evolution and history based on ever-increasing mutual dependency between humans and things In this engaging exploration, archaeologist Ian Hodder departs from the two prevailing modes of thought about human evolution: the older idea of constant advancement toward a civilized ideal and the newer one of a directionless process of natural selection. Instead, he proposes a theory of human evolution and history based on “entanglement,” the ever-increasing mutual dependency between humans and things. Not only do humans become dependent on things, Hodder asserts, but things become dependent on humans, requiring an endless succession of new innovations. It is this mutual dependency that creates the dominant trend in both cultural and genetic evolution. He selects a small number of cases, ranging in significance from the invention of the wheel down to Christmas tree lights, to show how entanglement has created webs of human-thing dependency that encircle the world and limit our responses to global crises.
