Twilight of the Machines by John Zerzan

The mentor of the green anarchist and neo-primitive movements is back with his first book in six years, confronting civilisation, mass society, modernity and technoculture - both the history of its developing crisis and the possibilities for its human and humane solutions. As John Zerzan writes, These dire times may yet reveal invigorating new vistas of thought and action. When everything is at stake, all must be confronted and superseded. At this moment, there is the distinct possibility of doing just that.''
His writings argue that agricultural civilisation is intrinsically repressive, and that the traditions of hunter-gatherers might be used as inspiration for what a free society should be like. Domestication, language, symbolic thought (such as mathematics and art), and the concept of time are some of the topics of his criticism.
