The book is composed of excerpts from the works of a wide range of authors who've offered radical critiques of industrial society. Against Civilization is not all poetic rage; the various contributions include reasoned analyses of the inherent contradictions of industrial capitalism, celebrations of vernacular culture, and inspiring visions of worlds beyond systematic domination and exploitation. As Kirkpatrick Sale has said of the book, 'It is its collective refusal to say 'Here is civilization: just accept it' that makes this volume so important. Read it and you will never think of civilization in the same way again"--From publisher's descriptionAnarchismCivilization, Modern20th centuryCivilization, Modern21st centuryAnarchism.Civilization, ModernCivilization, Modern335.83Zerzan John1629242MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910817477703321Against civilization3970380UNINA
