Against the Machine: On the Unmaking of Humanity (Kindle Book) $2
Paul Kingsnorth's bestselling exploration of how technology and capitalism are reshaping humanity and threatening civilization.
Against the Machine is a provocative examination of how technology and capitalism are reshaping human civilization. Kingsnorth, an acclaimed novelist, poet, and essayist, explores the spiritual and economic foundations of what he calls the Machine—a force that has gradually hollowed out humanity since the First Industrial Revolution. The book traces how technological progress, from industrialization to artificial intelligence, has damaged Western civilization and the environment while fundamentally altering what it means to be human. Kingsnorth argues that our very souls are at stake in resisting this pervasive system.
