History, the study of our past, only tells us part of the story. Our cultural memory, the stories we tell about that past, shape us and our world far more than the strictly accurate historical facts. And that’s where “feral history” comes in – looking at the wild flow of our collective memory and self-image as a civilization through the stories we tell. And science fiction, because it presents itself as not being about us and our past but someone else in the future, is in many ways the purest distillation of our who we are and how we see ourselves and the world. It’s there that we can find some of what eludes us in purely academic historical study. Also, I'm just going to say there's a blanket spoiler warning for the entire channel. And of course, check out Stellar Drift and Ninti's Gate. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0GTVXK4CN
