What Are People For?: Essays by Wendell Berry

5.0

Without a doubt the most worthwhile book I've read so far this year. I've read a lot of Wendell Berry essays, and three of the best are in this collection: "Why I am not going to buy a computer," "Feminism, The Body & the Machine," and "Word and Flesh." Trying to get through the year with these words about the relationship between humans and technology, and the relationship between thought and action, seems to be an idea whose time has come, for me at least.
