pickI've been meaning to read this for a while now. I'm glad I did as it is certainly an eye opener. I do agree with the majority of Lanier's points. He certainly makes valid points on how much we have freely given away to social media conglomerates and what they're doing with that information.

These days there are people who are unapologetically doing violence against people in the name of wildness. This journal is a collection of writings by people who agree with them. Poetry and essays that celebrate anti-humanist action for the wild.
