My name is Aaron Gilbreath, and I’m a Good Men Project contributor and reader. I wanted to tell other readers about the Kickstarter campaign for my current book project, Crowded: Portrait of Life on a Teeming Planet. I just raised $3,000 to do the reporting necessary to complete the book proposal, and with fifteen days left in the Kickstarter, I thought I’d tell people about the book and how I’ve stretched the fund-raising effort to extend my reporting trip. Crowded is narrative nonfiction about the profound yet overlooked ways dense communal living has shaped human affairs, including everything from our moods to our businesses to interior design. Crowding isn’t just an environmental and urban design issue. It’s a social, psychological and moral issue. With over half the world population now living in cities, “The Future,” as novelist Don DeLillo said, “belongs to crowds.” I plan to portray what that future looks like, how we’re preparing for it, and write the first book to detail exactly how crowds have shaped human history through time. Once I finish the proposal, my agent can shop it around, and I can hopefully—hopefully!—write the rest of the book. - See more at: http://goodmenproject.com/the-good-life/gmp-contributor-aaron-gilbreath-is-crowdfunding-to-study-the-effects-of-crowding/#sthash.40MDoeNl.dpuf
