James BraveWolf addresses the erosion of humanity and its so-called "connectivity" in this book of insightful essays. Human beings are allowing technology to replace their everyday experiences and feelings with programmed entertainment, creating a false illusion of life. And, the author asserts, that is no accident. These people are referred to as "taste-makers" by some, but BraveWolf refers to them as "the Leviathan." "Technology can take away reality and replace it with an artificial copy," BraveWolf writes. "The self-absorbed superficiality that has replaced the world is total now. But the Youth Culture that is worshiped as the new 'ism' is only a disguise - there is a nonliving aspect to those who were born after the world was replaced. They are disconnected, even with all their wireless connections. They are becoming copies of human beings. Copies make no impression on us." Join the author in the pages of this thoughtful tome, but be prepared to open your eyes to a new truth ... a truth lost through decades of electronic entertainment and social engineering.
