A short and diverse compilation of excerpted writing from the Greeks to the present that comes from the anti-civilization and primitivist currents that, the editor argues, have rightly opposed "progress" since the origins of civilization. I found it to be a powerful and uncommon illustration of the potential depth of a critique of domestication and an exploration of wildness in all domains of human being.

Here's a particularly sad thought from Richard Heinberg - we have domesticated ourselves - "We are to primitive [sic] peoples as cows and sheep are to bears and eagles."
So those who dream of a human life without civilization are like sheep or cows who dream of being bears and eagles. ( )
