Fiction isn't bad. It is vital. – Yuval Noah Harari

Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow is the sequel to Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind, one of the best non fiction works I've ever read– Yuval Noah Harari discusses why homo sapiens emerged as the dominant species, and how today's societal structure is in many ways at odds with what we are evolutionarily tuned to gain happiness from. As an artist, his discussion of the importance of fictions in fulfillment hit me hard. Lately, as I haven't had time to write, I've been learning the hard way that it's not that my characters exist within me, but that I only exist within them. For those of you who write, why do you do it? And for the others, what are you reading this weekend?
