Against Civilization by John Zerzan
"Read it and you will never think of civilization in the same way again."--Kirkpatrick Sale
This anthology about "the pathology of civilization" offers insight into how progress and technology have led to emptiness and alienation.
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.
