"Against the Machine is timely, compelling, and important. Its
intellectual sweep extends from the transcendental to the
transistor, covering much unfamiliar ground and reviving a
long-neglected tradition of dissent."--Eric Schlosser, author of
"Fast Food Nation"
"Against the Machine is luminous, lyrical, impassioned, profound. I
had to put the book down every few paragraphs and breathe in
relief."-- "Orion"
