Brendan Myers returns to the show to talk about his newest nonfiction release, Reclaiming Civilization: a case for optimism for the future of humanity.

What is civilization - and is it a good thing? It's a name for the most glorious of humanity's monuments and cultural achievements; yet it also speaks of the conquests, oppressions, and empires which make their glory possible. This book explains the essence of civilization, then asks what's wrong with it, and considers what can be done about it. (Back cover.)

Brendan Myers is the author of sixteen books in philosophy, environmental ethics, history of ideas, spirituality, urban fantasy fiction, and game design. He lives in Gatineau, Quebec, Canada.
