I hinted a bit of anarcho-primitivism, either that or I misinterpretted it.

I dislike the book so far, only on page 221/265, because it has yet to tell me how I can make a difference and change the world for the better. It just states what we've done wrong and not how we can fix it.

Everyone I know that has read it has liked it alot. It's a good intro to a philosophical way of thinking.
