a post-'normal' booke review: chellis glendinning on recovery from western civilization

this review employs two main elements: orthodox "texting" and as well, permitting myself to art into another direction than perhaps previously anticipated. incorporated into this post is image, non-blunt points, rectangles, and other lines, along with 'marginal' commentary. All of this certainly cuts down on the verbiage and gets to "the point" (and allows for more broad input from those whose spirit just really ain't oriented to 'composing' formal ideas of text, re: "book reviews"). Lastly, this way allows people to leave *traces* of their spirit in a less mediated way.

Book:
_My Name is Chellis & I'm in Recovery from Western Civilization"

John Trudell insight struck me particularly radically, first off: "New Age world in a Old World cage."

book quote, p.113: '...we stand before yet another technological thrust whose expression, rather than providing new horizons of hope, is blindly leading us toward more possibilities for dissociation and, rather than offering reconciliation, is bringing us more possibilities for alienation.'

Goes on to discuss Jerry Mander's idea, only, and i find that strange. Why not more people? Perhaps she is as enthralled by Mander as i by Trudell? Good for curiosity, then!

See images for next portions!


What if post-civ/anarchist-type media published this way? Or at least experimented with such?

Pros/cons anyone?
