Future Primitive Revisited is one more precious gift for us all."-Enrico Manicardi, author of Liberi dalla Civilt (Free from Civilization)"Anyone who travels with his eyes open understands the sense of much of what you have written, and the longer I live the greater my contempt for the opportunists who run governments and dictate our lives with technology."-Paul Theroux"Of course we should go primitive. This doesnt mean abandoning material needs, tools, or skills, but ending our obsession with such concerns. Declaring for community, our true origin: personal autonomy, trust, mutual support in pursuit of all the joys and troubles of life. Society was a trap-massive, demanding, impersonal and debilitating from day one. So hurry back to the community, friends, and welcome all the consequences of such an orientation. The reasons for fear and despair will only multiply if we remain in this brutal and dangerous state of civilization."-Blok 45 publishing, BelgradeAs our society is stricken with repeated technological disasters, and the apocalyptic problems that go with them, the "neo-primitivist" essays of John Zerzan seem more relevant than ever."Future Primitive," the core innovative essay of Future Primitive Revisited, has been out of print for years.
