"When we Indians kill meat, we eat it all up. When we dig roots, we make little holes. When we build houses, we make little holes. When we burn grass for grasshoppers, we don't ruin things. We shake down acorns and pine nuts. We don't chop down the trees. We only use dead wood. But the white people plow up the ground, pull down the trees, kill everything. ...the White people pay no attention. ...How can the spirit of the earth like the White man? ...everywhere the White man has touched it, it is sore." - Wintu Woman, 19th Century |

In The Wake - This is the working website of a handbook in progress. The writings here are based on the premises that industrial civilization is unsustainable, and that its collapse is inevitable. Industrial civilization is systematically destroying the biosphere and exploiting the inhabitants of this planet. It is reducing the long-term prospects of living creatures in general, and the sooner it is gone the better off we'll be. If we wait until civilization destroys so much of the biosphere that it collapses itself then our situation will be even worse. This handbook is for learning the skills that we need to encourage the dismantlement of industrial civilization as soon as possible, and to create healthy, democratic, ecological communities in the wake of its collapse.
