Synopsis:
Why Hope? is a manifesto against the oppression of civilisation by one of the foremost figures in the anarchist movement. Controversial green anarchist John Zerzan's latest blast against technology, complete with an introduction by Lang Gore. The infamous eco-anarchist John Zerzan, whose books have resulted in recent interviews by Vice and Believer magazines, checks in with further provocative articles about the chaotic results of civilisation and technology.
About the Author: John Zerzan is an American anarchist and primitivist philosopher and author. His works criticise agricultural civilisation as inherently oppressive and advocate drawing upon the ways of life of hunter gatherers as an inspiration for what a free society should look like. Some subjects of his criticism include domestication, language, symbolic thought (such as mathematics and art) and the concept of time. Lang Gore has played at many occupations over the decades, including secretary, cab driver, tree planter, pamphleteer, forest-fire fighter, bouncer and logger. He is the author of Hunting Seasons (Unrelenting Press, 2010).
