Goodreads asked Richard L. Currier:

What are you currently working on?

Richard L. Currier My current project is tentatively entitled "THE DISHARMONIOUS SOCIETY: Human Nature in a Technological World." This book is an exploration of how far the conditions of modern life and society have strayed from the conditions that existed during most of human history, when our ancestors lived for millions of years in small nomadic groups of hunters and gatherers. In other words, our human natures, which were adapted to a more “natural” way of life, are now completely out of synch with the “artificial” technological environment in which we now live. As a result, modern people are suffering from a rising tide of mental and physical disorders—including free-floating anxiety, chronic depression, bipolar disorder, autism, ADHD, drug addiction, heart disease, obesity, and diabetes—that are unique to modern times.
