“And You Will Become a Neolithic Man!” is an unconventional theoretical guide that immerses the reader in the world of Neolithic communities, revealing how ancient people learned to navigate the new rules imposed by the Neolithic Revolution. Beneath its educational surface, however, lies a profound dystopian reflection aimed at modern readers.

The guide suggests that in order to survive in this new world, a person had to accept harsh social and moral principles: hierarchy, division into the strong and the weak, competition for resources, and the pursuit of power. It shows how individuals improved their standing by gaining advantage over others, and how ignoring these rules meant weakness and exclusion from the group.

Within its pages, you will find reflections on the qualities modern people may have lost in becoming “civilized”: the instinctive sense of hierarchy, ambition, uncompromising honesty about social reality, readiness to compete, and willingness to accept the consequences of one’s actions.

This is not merely a set of practical instructions for a hypothetical Neolithic initiate, but also a deep exploration of human nature. It suggests that many contemporary norms we consider civilized suppress a more primal, instinctive knowledge of how to function within a group and how to survive.

“And You Will Become a Neolithic Man!” is at once educational, ironic, and thought-provoking — ideal for readers who wish to view modern society through the eyes of ancient people and to reflect on what may have been lost on the path to modernity.
