I have a friend who was a designer at an engineering firm who got laid off during covid. He took the time to get really good at backcountry skiing thanks to CERB and rejoined the labour force when the jobs came back.

People on CERB were underemployed and happy and productive (just not economically). COVID was a weird time but that part was great.

Interesting. I have positive feelings about UBI because of observing the CERB program in Canada during COVID, which (anecdotally, for many people I know) kept huge numbers of service industry and arts workers who were suddenly without work able to still pay rent and buy food.

I started with Sixteen Ways to Defend a Walled City which I think is as good a place as any. His books all broadly take place in the same world and hit many of the same tropes but I haven’t found reading order to matter that much.

Alternatively you could start with Devices and Desires.

I have a vivid memory of watching TV coverage of the Loma Prieta earthquake as a child, and they were interviewing someone who had been a collector of pottery.

“I’m going to start collecting again,” she said. “But this time, maybe baskets.”

The civilized way to get to remote forests is on a boat. Barefoot.
