This review is from: Elements of Refusal (Paperback)

Zerzan questions fundamentals we all take for granted, from art to language to number to time to agriculture, to every building block of civilization. And he does so lucidly and with consistent, forceful logic and insight.

Zerzan's writings have become better known in recent years because of some correspondences between his viewpoints and those of the Unabomber. However, Zerzan's writing are both far more profound and without an exhortation to Unabomber-type violence.

This is one of my very favorite books. Highly, highly recommended.

This review is from: Elements of Refusal (Paperback)

Rather difficult for many to read, but very much worth the effort. After reading it, I bought 7 more copies to give to friends. Important ctiticism of the most basic elements of modern life.
