About

Antarchia is the private collection and blog of a disenchanted ant. It is made up mostly from 'nuggets' of information taken from books and articles that should be widely known, but aren't. The nuggets have been selected to suit the 21st century attention span, but all connect up to the original sources (the reading of which requires a bit more time and concentration).

The aim in selecting and posting this collection was partly personal: these are bits of information that I needed to remember, and then be able to find again. But there is also a hope... that if only the nuggets were more widely known and remembered then they might shock and wake enough attention spans to serve some purpose.

• See the FAQ for a bit more on the site
• Go to the nuggets page to find out how best to search for them
• Send a message to the ants, or send along your own choice nuggets here. I can always do with more collectors.
