Before I start my stunningly critical analysis of this quite interesting book, a few pointers for those who might be interested in reading it themselves. The following link contains some marketing stuff on the book: http://www.endgamethebook.org/
For a guy who thinks that civilization is destroying the planet and that we all need to go back to subsistence farming and hunting/gathering, Derrick Jensen has quite the sophisticated marketing site, as well as a rather lengthy book containing, I'm sure you'll be shocked, paper. I do wonder if he knows where the paper got sourced, but it appears pretty conventional to me.
Anyway, I don't particularly want to reveal my biases just yet as despite the evident cynicism, I actually think this guy makes some rather interesting and important points. Points that cause one to ponder concepts like God and infinity and whether or not Toyotas really could have emerged from a giant explosion of all the material in the universe.
So if you don't decide to buy this book, stay tuned and I'll fill you in ...
