Recounts how my life experiences shaped my ideas. In the span of eight decades, the indictment of what is, and how we got there, has become ever more widespread. Civilization’s breadth and depth––and now its downward spiral––are there for all to see.
I’ve been around for the latest, scariest part of technology’s ascendancy, at some of its seminal points. I count myself fortunate to have been able to study its contours from an anti-authoritarian perspective.
We used to call it “Western Civilization.” Now it’s just Civilization, with Technology as its ever advancing, ever-debasing cutting edge.
My friend Jesus Sepulveda connected me to Silvana and Viviana at El Sur Es America, a wonderful destination for this memoir. Alice got the effort off the ground and greatly assisted with the process.
