Yeah. I need to reread it but Miguel De Landa's A 1000 Years of Non-linear History gave me a lot of framing & ideation, around the same time as GG&S, that imo served me well. And it did so by elaborating through examples &showing patterns & building the metaphor up. Yes it reduces down to some core ideas. But the wandering around, across how widely those core ideas (some lovely artistic references to geomorphology, in A1kYoNH's case) applied again and again, was what build the 'bumper sticker' idea into a pattern I could see & discern. Neither would have been a formative experience without.
