   • Fully Automated! Solarpunk RPG

   @FullyAutomatedRPG I actually used to give the article version of this one in my first year seminars as a way of getting my students to think about how the combination of two sets of ideas can lead to new consequences / scenarios. Worked pretty well! Should read the full book sometime...

     Just finished "Four Futures: Life After Capitalism" by Peter Frase, and it's fantastic!

     Frase examines 4 scenarios: abundance & egalitarianism (Communism); abundance & hierarchy (Rentism); scarcity & egalitarianism (Socialism); and scarcity & hierarchy (Exterminism).

     His descriptions of #communism and #socialism both sound very similar to the conditions of Fully Automated!

     Anyone else read this book?
