Research feed – Civilisation Beta the book

Daniel's research feed

Follow the developments I’ve captured in to my own Zotero reference library that’s relevant to the continued evolution of ‘Civilisation Beta’, and which I will use in continuing research.

I will try to add annotative reflections describing ‘why’ I have added sources when I can, but by default these will be as saved: hot off the press, with new developments you need to pay attention to.

This is a continually updating list which will just capture my latest 20 sources I’ve catalogued.
