If cuneiform spreadsheets are your jam, if you are a Nanni or Ea-Nasir simp, if you've ever forged a signature to skip school, then you can't miss Chris Lee's Designing History book. Here's my foreword, titled "The Discreet Charm of a Short-Term Rental Agreement": silviolorusso.com/publication/...

Went on Ebay and got a mysterious flyer showing a free interpretation (in Italian!) of Victor Papanek's pseudo-conspiratorial diagrams, replete with pencil notes.

The flyer is now accessible on both here: archive.org/details/cosi... and here: peoplesgdarchive.org/item/18933/c...
