Civilization OS

What if human conflict isn't a moral failure-but a systems mismatch?In Civilization OS, Rhiannon Yandell argues that humanity has always run on two social operating systems.One is built for kinship, reciprocity, and shared survival.The other is built for hierarchy, control, and crisis management.Both evolved for a reason.Both work-under the right conditions.And modern civilization is stuck running the wrong one.Blending neuroscience, evolutionary biology, primatology, systems theory, mythology, and modern tech metaphors, Civilization OS traces a single repeating pattern across: - Ancient civilizations and modern geopolitics- Chimpanzees and bonobos- Schools, corporations, healthcare, and government- Mental health, neurodiversity, gender, and social conflict- Myth, religion, and archived human warnings This is not a self-help book.Not a political manifesto.Not a spiritual awakening story.It's a root-cause analysis of why humans keep hurting each other-and why no amount of moral arguing has ever fixed it.If you've ever felt like the world makes no sense, like everyone else got a manual you didn't, or like society is running in permanent emergency mode while calling it "normal," this book will give you a language for what you're seeing.There was never a villain.There were only strategies-and a world that forgot when to switch
