520 "'It was 11pm when I checked my email for the last time
and turned off my phone for what I hoped would be
forever.' No running water, no car, no electricity or any
of the things it powers: the internet, phone, washing
machine, radio or light bulb. Just a wooden cabin, on a
smallholding, by the edge of a stand of spruce. In this
honest and lyrical account of a remarkable life without
modern technology, Mark Boyle explores the hard won joys
of building a home with his bare hands, learning to make
fire, collecting water from the spring, foraging and
fishing. What he finds is an elemental life, one governed
by the rhythms of the sun and seasons, where life and
death dance in a primal landscape of blood, wood, muck,
water, and fire--much the same life we have lived for most
of our time on earth. Revisiting it brings a deep insight
into what it means to be human at a time when the
boundaries between man and machine are blurring."--
