Jerry Mander | Essais | Sierra Club Books | Date de parution: 1992 | ISBN-13: 9780871565099 | Couverture: Souple | Anglais
"ONE THE MOST ORIGINAL and significant arguments of the decade. This is a book in equal parts daring and subtle, radical and yet conserving of deeper, lost values... This is a vitally important book."
- SUSAN GRIFFIN, author of Woman and Nature
"A skewering critique of modern technology, in which cars, telephones, computers, banks, biogenetics and television... all are shown to be part of a mad "megatechnology" that is destroying the world's resources and robotizing its peoples."
- KIRKPATRICK SALE, The Nation
"An exceptionally lucid and intelligent presentation of the urgent need to change the direction of our culture before we no longer have a choice."
- PETER MATTHIESSEN, author of In the Spirit of Crazy Horse
"Mander is onto something so monstrous that it's almost literally invisible to us: how "megatech" hollows out humans and annihilates everything natural. Once again he makes an absolutely incontrovertible argument whose conclusions are absolutely unbearable - unless we relearn a sense of the sacred from the earth's remaining indigenous peoples and change 'the way we live now."
- ERNEST CALLENBACH, author of Ecotopia
"Inspiring, sometimes gripping. Through Mander's eyes, native peoples are not quaint relics; they become sources of precisely the practical wisdom our species needs not only for survival but for renewal."
- FRANCES MOORE LAPPÉ, author of Diet for a Small Planet
