Igual que Hesiodo, Lao-Tzu o Thoreau. Mumford es uno de los sabios que se apartan, que aconsejan el retiro y la resistencia ante las escandalosas ambiciones de las élites en el poder.
En cierto modo su libro es un llamamiento al la desobediencia. como escribe Donald L. Miller en su biografía sobre Mumford:
Mumford vuelve al retiro y a la conversión --los métodos siempre apreciados por sacerdotes y profetas. históricamente, los movimientos revolucionarios que han tenido mas éxito, argumenta, fueron aquellos iniciados por individuos y pequeños grupos que horadaban los margenes del sistema de poder <>. Dicha estrategia no busca apoderarse del centro del poder sino alejarse de el y paralizarlo. En ese sentido Thoreau, no Marx, es el revolucionario más peligroso, pues Thoreau reconoció que la desobediencia es el primer paso hacia la autonomía.

rebel liest commented on Columbus Day by Craig Alanson (Expeditionary Force, #1)
Oh oh oh, das habe ich echt nicht kommen sehen. So langsam wie ich das Buch angefangen habe, so schnell neigt es sich jetzt auf einmal dem Ende entgegen. So schnell, das ich mir auf alle Fälle Band 2 noch besorgen werde.
Es ist jetzt keine Hard Military SciFi aber echt gut geschrieben und auch mitunter lustig. Ich habe in letzter Zeit ein Buch so schnell durchgelesen (gut, sind noch ein paar Seiten)

Wild Woila reviewed Cloud Cuckoo Land by Anthony Doerr
Elaborate but tenuous.
3 stars
(3 stars = I liked it)
Three time periods are braided together by an ancient Greek tale: 15th century Constantinople, the modern day, and a space-faring future. Elaborate but tenuous. On their own each story has potential, but together they don't quite make a whole. Like Cloud Atlas but less enthralling.

Wild Woila reviewed Account Rendered by Melita Maschmann
A cog in the Nazi machine
4 stars
Autobiography of a woman who was a committed & diligent National Socialist (#Nazi), of her experience in youth work & propaganda, and her journey coming to terms with the truth of what she participated in. Description of the clinical dispossession of the Poles is disturbing (and new to me), as is the readiness with which everyday mediocre people were led into misguided beliefs, alternative facts & constrained thinking, to do prosaic work with horrifyingly evil outcomes.

Wild Woila reviewed Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver
So good it hurt to read
5 stars
A harrowing journey through foster care and the opiate crisis. So good it hurt to read. Raw deal after raw deal left my heart aching, but enough clear-sighted humanity to stave off despair.

Wild Woila reviewed Parable of the Sower by Octavia E. Butler (Earthseed, #1)
Prophetic for its time
3 stars
Adapting & building community during social collapse. Prophetic for its time, remains unsettling. God as Change could be a genuinely useful belief system. Only half a book, with ending sudden & too convenient (there is a sequel).

Wild Woila reviewed Africa Is Not a Country by Dipo Faloyin
Lively, enlightening & optimistic
4 stars
Dismantles the many myths & prejudices outsiders hold about monolithic "Africa", along with a startling reminder of its colonial history and an overview of its many forms of dictatorship. Lively, enlightening & optimistic without being overly simplistic.
Reading time 6 days, 59 pages/day
Easy on the eyes
3 stars
A bit light on the mystery, and minimal movement in the meta-plot, but perfect relaxation escapism.

Wild Woila reviewed Wizard of the Crow by Ngugi wa Thiong'o
Amusing & insightful but long
3 stars
A satire of African dictatorships and coups. Nearly everyone is stupid, superstitious or greedy. Lightly amusing & insightful but exceeedingly long.

Random colourful nonsense
2 stars
(2 stars = it was okay)
A sequence of random but colourful nonsense, for no discernible reason. Poor ending. Very effective at sending me off to sleep, though!
