How does one make good decisions? What shape of life emerges from choosing well? In this careful book, Brad Lancaster gathers ideas about human meaning to frame "kithdom," a political theory that encourages meaningful life together in interwoven circles of friends. Cull offers insight about peace, humility, friendship, family, and consensus. Lancaster helps one get clear about depopulation, shared meaning, and pot holes in human thinking. Cull suggests simple rules for living that satisfy our hunger for deliberated togetherness. Cull asks all to dwell on unborn generations and the legacy we are fashioning. Cull encourages a communications Commons, freely available to all, which contains the sum of human knowledge and skills. Ultimately, the author asks us to keep experimenting with forms of life until we find ourselves, with our friends, flourishing in meaningful shared existence. Co-housing groups, ecovillages, kibbutzim, intentional communities, urban non-residential fellowships, and communes of every sensibility will find in Lancaster's book thoughtful help for living in deliberated togetherness. For those of us mired in the urban crush, Cull is a godsend of blunt analysis.

Cull: Epitomes offers its reader, in a single volume, the essence of seventy-seven core philosophical and religious works. Each presents a thinker without knowledge of which one can scarcely begin to mull ethical and political questions. These vignettes span religious thought from pious wondering in the Indus valley to Buber's slippery mysticism. They measure politics from the olive groves of Athens to Harvard's intellectual ferment. These epitomes examine morality from the sacral smokes of the Sinai desert to E. O. Wilson's eusocial ants. These little works capture the texture, if not the entire fabric, of some of history's finest minds, and some painfully coarse ones as well. If time were abundant, you might read the originals yourself. Time, for most of us, is anything but abundant.

"The Cull is a dark tale about five friends setting off in the middle of the night to shoot a short film on a forbidden rock near their small coastal town the summer before they all go their separate ways. But they're not really there to shoot a film. One of them has lied. And that lie will change EVERYTHING. Collects The Cull #1-#5"--
