Humanity's Next Great Adventure
If a team of Martian anthropologists were to study our culture, their initial findings might read something like this: These people have the strange idea that the thing they call civilisation is some sort of final, unsurpassable invention. Even though vast numbers of them suffer in this oppressively hierarchical system, and even though it appears to be plunging them toward a global catastrophe, they cling to it as if it were the most wonderful thing. That a more agreeable and less catastrophic system exists beyond civilisation, seems to be entirely unthinkable to them.
We all know there's no one right way to build a bicycle, design an automobile, or construct a pair of shoes, but we're convinced there must be only one right way for people to live, and the one we have is it, no matter what. Even if we hate it, dragging us to the brink of extinction, we must not let it go. This book makes us think the unthinkable. It shows how we can move forward to a new lifestyle, one which encourages diversity instead of suppressing it. Not a new world order but a new personal order. Not legislative change at the governmental level, but incremental change at the human level.
This is a guidebook for people who want to assert control over their destiny and recover the freedom to live at a scale and in a style of their own choosing.
