Book excerpt: The green world in which we evolved is being shredded by our instruments and our way of life. David Watson’s wide-ranging essays—published in Fifth Estate, one of North America’s most original radical journals—ponder such themes as the state, empire and war; humanity’s tragic relation to the natural world; and the contemporary mass society generated by industrial capitalism and modern technology. His impassioned critique offers a vision of social transformation open to diverse possibilities, and suggests where a new politics must begin: as a radical challenge to the mystique of progress, in defense of nature, memory and spirit.
