Summary: In this 36th episode of the C-Realm Podcast, KMO talks with Thomas Homer-Dixon, author of The Upside of Down: Catastrophe, Creativity, and the Renewal of Civilization about the fragility of our vast centralized systems, the need for resiliency & diversity, and the possibilities for renewal and reinvention which only present themselves in historical moments of disintegration and collapse. Thomas Homer-Dixon has a great website, so I'll direct you there rather than put together a bio for him here.
