I've been reading Berry's The Unsettling of America and am finding it a very comforting counterpoint to my career in tech and associated feelings of burnout.

Likewise for me with Wes Jackson's 'Becoming Native To This Place', although it's pretty sad reading anti-modern stuff penned 40-50 years ago, considering how little impact it had and how many of the negatives of modern-day life were predicted in them and have intensified since.

I suppose Ted Kaczynski did that particular movement no favours.

I just finished "The Art of Loading Brush," which makes many of the same arguments with some modern updates. Highly recommended.
