À propos de cette écoute
“England’s greatest living writer” (unHerd) examines the technological, historical, and—above all—spiritual currents driving the global industrial economy and prophesies what’s next for a dead civilization.
In Against the Machine, Kingsnorth recounts how the Machine, a combination of technological, political, economic, and spiritual forces, is destroying the life support systems of the Earth itself. He examines the Machine's way of homogenising the mosaic of human cultures and using humans as fodder in a techno-industrial juggernaut. Most importantly, he identifies how this "progress" and its ideologies put humanity in a headlong plunge towards what looks to be a glorified nihilism disguised as "freedom."
In the age of the Machine, it takes effort to remain truly human. Drawing on deep readings of philosophers, poets, and mystics like Ivan Illich, Wendell Berry, and Simone Weil, Kingsnorth reminds us what humanity requires: a healthy suspicion of entrenched power; connection to land, nature and heritage; a deep attention to matters of the spirit; heterodox tolerance, freedom of expression and an appreciation of beauty. Against the Machine is the spiritual manual for Kingsnorth's fellow madmen.
