In this collection of essays, anarcho-primitivist philosopher John Zerzan offers a scathing critique of modern society. Written during and after the COVID-19 lockdowns, Zerzan argues that the pandemic didn’t just disrupt our lives, it accelerated our domesticity and dependence on the very digital infrastructures that alienate us.

This is a critical, and perhaps uncomfortable look at the "Progress" we often take for granted.

We’ll be discussing his views on:

• The psychological toll of virtual existence.

• The "New Normal" as a permanent state of technological enclosure.

• Whether a return to a more "human" scale of life is possible or even desired.

Why you should attend

Whether you’re a tech-optimist or a digital skeptic, this session is designed to challenge the underlying assumptions of modern society. Come prepared for an honest, unfiltered debate.
