Summary: WONDERFUL alternative...
Comment: Sorry I got my fill of all this anarcho-primitivist crap when I was an avid punk scenester. Sure let's all go live in subsistence communes while regressing away technology. Sounds wonderful ya'll. I am tired of hearing how this book changes people's lives. This old fart has to have some of the worse prose I have ever read.
Daniel Quinn a futurist? I bet Umberto Boccioni would roll over in his grave if he were ever hear that absurd claim.
Don't read this book, even if your girlfriend forces you too. Actually do read it in that case, so you can realize what a moron she is and then dump her.
Pure garbage...

Summary: New Ideas for a New World
Comment: This book is a must read for anyone hungry for some new ideas and actual practical answers to the problems of our society. Do you want freedom from your stone-dragger's lot in life? How can I make a living without giving up my soul?
If you need help with the first steps toward a fulfilling meaningful life this is a great guide.
If you want to cross over into the bold new frontier that lies beyond our civilization, this is your passport.

Summary: Going Backwards
Comment: Since most of human evolution occurred while we lived in an environment that is closer to what Daniel Quinn describes than to a modern city, it is likely that many of us would feel more comfortable living in a simpler manner. Civilization, industrialization, computerization, etc. all create an 'un-natural environment'. Humans are designed to be quite flexible but some of us adapt better than others do to driving a car with a Global Positioning System-controlled voice that tells when to take a left and when to take a right in order to get to our destination.
If you don't like all this technology, then head for a small town and simpler times...and use this book as your guide.
For me, I love technology, I talk to my PC and he talks to me. I don't bother sorting my trash because I know that nanotechnology and robots will be going through our dumps in the next few decades and extracting all of the asbestos, mercury, lithium and other contamination that we all are dumping today.
The only real solutions to the problems created by technology have always been more technology. That is the way it has always been. If you want to move to the countryside and do primitive, you can get a monthly magazine from the city and watch how we do it, that is your choice.
