“Work together, eat bread together”

Stardew Valley and the Dream of the Commons

(I’m Henry Snow, and you’re reading Another Way.)

Today’s post is not part two of the Herbert Spencer series, which you can look forward to later. Instead I have an essay on a decidedly more pleasant subject to share: it’s about 17th-century radical Gerrard Winstanley, the “cozy farming video game” Stardew Valley, and what farming means to us today. It’s for the Committee for the Anthropology of Science, Technology & Computing’s blog, Platypus. You can find it here.
