It's wild how fast death can come. He looks fine here. He apparently was still using Twitter on sept 2. It must have been sudden.

Can't wait for the last book. How awesome would it be if it's better than Debt: The First 5000 Years

I thought maybe he finished the book on origins of inequality with David Wengrow. But he said it is a book about kings. He published the book "On Kings" in 2017, it is in open access [1]. I assume he talked about another book about kings. David Graber wrote in his bio: «I am currently working with the archaeologist David Wengrow on a whole series of works completely re-imagining the whole question of “the origins of social inequality,” starting with the way the question is framed to begin with.» [7] With David Wengrow he published an article "Farewell to the ‘childhood of man’: ritual, seasonality, and the origins of inequality" in 2015. [2] They did a talk presenting the article. [3] They published an article "How to change the course of human history (at least, the part that’s already happened)" in 2018. [4] And "Are we city dwellers or hunter-gatherers?" in 2019. [5] They talked about their work again in 2019. [6] I wonder if they planned to do more. It seemed as something of an even bigger scale than the Debt if turned into a book. But maybe it always was going to be a series of articles. 1 [pdf] - https://haubooks.org/on-kings/ https://haubooks.org/on-kings/ 2 [pdf] - http://eprints.lse.ac.uk/62756/ http://eprints.lse.ac.uk/62756/ 3 [video] - https://vimeo.com/145285143 https://vimeo.com/145285143 4 - https://www.eurozine.com/change-course-human-history/ https://www.eurozine.com/change-course-human-history/ 5 - https://newhumanist.org.uk/articles/5409/are-we-city-dwellers-or-hunter-gatherers https://newhumanist.org.uk/articles/5409/are-we-city-dweller... 6 [video] - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EvUzdJSK4x8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EvUzdJSK4x8 7 - https://davidgraeber.industries/contact https://davidgraeber.industries/contact Edit: It was going to be a book.
