  Why Hope?


        The Stand Against Civilization


          John Zerzan


          Introduction By Lang Gore

*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 civilization 
and technology.

Says novelist Lang Gore in his introduction:

“The present collection of essays continues the overarching thrust of 
John’s scholarship, unveiling the post-apocalyptic nature of our times 
by noting the apocalypse was yesterday, several thousand years ago, to 
be precise, and that nothing produced by civilization can ever redeem 
the systematic attempt it has undertaken these (very) few millennia to 
destroy or alienate any human connection with the earth.

“In fact, when civilized Europeans imposed themselves everywhere on 
Earth, they created a terminal crisis for themselves by their very 
contact with indigenous societies. Suddenly, those with eyes to see and 
ears to hear could recognize that patriarchy, property and authority, 
and certainly slavery, were neither necessary nor desirable, let alone 
determined by ‘human nature.'”
