The Murderous Idolatry of the Future: Anarcho-Primitivism and the end of 
Technology



John Zerzan was active in the Sixties in San Francisco and Berkeley. A 
leading participant in the contemporary anarchist resurgence, Zerzan's 
political project calls for the destruction of technology. He draws the 
distinction between tools that stay under the control of the user, and 
technological systems that draw the user into their control. His 
critical ideas have challenged symbolic thought, mathematics, art and 
the concept of time. Zerzan has published in the Detroit magazine Fifth 
Estate and his books include Elements of Refusal (1988, 1999), Against 
Civilization (1999) and Future Primitive Revisited (2012).
