        2/ speaking of KSR Three Californias, I was flipping through a collected edition at B&N the other day and discovered something really neat. ...but first, some background. KSR's Three Californias is a bit of a triptych, showing the same location at the same point in the future

        3/ in three different timelines (remniscent of @amendlocke 's Fall Revolution books, which I also love). The first book, The Wild Shore, is set ~50 years after a nuclear war that pushed civilization back to village farmer / scavenger level. The Gold Coast is dystopian sprawl

        4/ Pacific Edge is basically a riff on "Ecotopia" (another hard-left novel I like). So, here's what I realized the other day, decades after first reading the Three Californias:

        6/ In The Wild Shore, chapter 1, the protagonists try to dig up an old 20th century grave to get silver handles off, for trade goods ... but they turn out to be plastic, and worthless.

        7/ In the first chapter of The Gold Coast, chapter 1, the protagonists try to dig up an old destroyed early 20th century building, to find a piece of wooden timber (wood! so weird and unlike current dystopian sprawl building materials).

        8/ In the first chapter of Pacific Edge, chapter 1, the protagonists are digging up old asphalt pavement, to re-wild the land. Obviously this was very conscious writing choice. Three novels, three chapters ones, three times a group of friends is LITERALLY EXCAVATING THE PAST

        9/ ...and engaging with it, from the perspective of their own particular world * the past looks silver, but is cheap plastic * the past was made out of wood, and better than concrete sprawl * the past was made out of asphalt, and was bad ; greenery is better DAMN that's good
