| Résumé : |
“Give flowers to the rebels who failed.” (Anarchist poet)
“If the resistance of the counter culture fails, I think there will be nothing in store for us but what anti-utopians like Huxley and Orwell have forecast.” (Theodore Roszak) “Nature has let us down, God seems to have left the receiver off the hook, and time is running out.” (Arthur Koestler) With the dust of death slowly settling over all of Western culture, Os Guinness charts the journey of a generation—out from the technological wasteland and into the Promised Land of radical politics, Eastern religion, psychedelic drugs and the occult. Rejecting both the technological society and the counter culture, he calls clearly for a Third Way. |
