- Summary:
- Our globalized, "virtual", and hyper-rationalized world is built on denial, the author claims--denial of the fundamental human connection to nature; a sense of place; and an understanding of the body. In this book, Spretnak explains why the fall of communism and the triumph of capitalism have not come close to establishing a new world order and how, until we face the failure of modernism, nothing will change.
