Description

All Lucifer wanted to do was help one hungry little girl learn how to plant seeds.

He really should have known better.

What started as a simple agricultural lesson accidentally creates human civilization -- and all its problems. Watch as our interdimensional observer's well-meaning suggestions transform a peaceful band of hunter-gatherers into property-owning, wall-building farmers with a disturbing talent for weaponizing every helpful hint they receive.

What could possibly go wrong?

• The accidental invention of agriculture

• Property rights emerging from innocent storage advice

• Permanent settlements that somehow lead to social hierarchy

• Geometric crop patterns visible from orbit (that Upper Management definitely noticed)

As paradise transforms into something far more complicated, Lucifer begins to realize that humans possess an uncanny ability to turn any knowledge into a weapon, any suggestion into a problem, and any helpful advice into civilization-altering disaster.

"The Beginning of All Problems" reveals the cosmic origins of humanity's worst tendencies, told through increasingly desperate interdimensional memos, horrified celestial observations, and one well-meaning immortal's gradual realization that feeding a hungry child can sometimes result in the invention of warfare.

The first volume in The Lucifer Journals series, showing exactly how civilization's problems began with the best of intentions. While each book stands alone, this origin story explains why Lucifer is eternally exiled on Earth, forced to watch humans repeatedly misuse his helpful advice.

Perfect for fans of Good Omens, Discworld, and anyone who's ever wondered why humans can't have nice things.
