New York Times bestsellerHow a force thats hard to name, but which we all feel, is reshaping what it means to be humanIn Against the Machine, "furiously gifted" (The Washington Post) novelist, poet, and essayist Paul Kingsnorth presents a wholly originaland terrifyingaccount of the technologicalcultural matrix enveloping all of us. With insight into the spiritual and economic roots of technocapitalism, Kingsnorth reveals how the Machine, in the name of progress, has choked Western civilization, is destroying the Earth itself, and is reshaping us in its image. From the First Industrial Revolution to the rise of artificial intelligence, he shows how the hollowing out of humanity has been a long gameand how your very soul is at stake. It takes effort to remain truly human in the age of the Machine. Here Kingsnorth reminds us what humanity requires a healthy suspicion of entrenched power connection to land, nature and heritage and a deep attention to matters of the spirit. Prophetic and poetic, Against the Machine is a spiritual manual for dissidents in the technological age.
