Review title: Good points but they are extreme
Product review: I recommend this book to anyone because it deals with many issues that are extrememely relevant to Western Culture. Technology vs Nature, problems with the "American Dream", cultural hegemony in the media, problems with overconsumption, etc.Read it with a grain of salt because at times it seems like less of a book than anti-corporate/technology propaganda. Some of his suggestions like buy nothing day and to stop driving cars are just silly. What happened to innovative green technology? His vision seems like a step back in time 100 years. He doesn't talk about appreciating what we have or about solutions to our disposable culture. People are always going to buy stuff if it breaks or becomes outdated--how should we fix this Lasn? It's an interesting book but the criticism is over the top considering he doesn't offer practical solutions.
