See more detail | | In the Absence of the Sacred
In the Absence of the Sacred is an exceptionally lucid and intelligent presentation of the urgent need to change the direction of our culture before we no longer have a choice. It is a skewering critique of modern technology, in which cars, telephones, computers, banks, biogenetics, and television all are shown to be part of a mad megatechnology that is destroying the world's resources and robotizing its peoples. It tells us how megatech is hollowing out humans and annihilating everything natural.
