www.newsociety.com

Fall cofes to us as the beginning of the wind-down season. The last of the garden’s harvest is being brought in, gardens put to bed for the winter, kids are gearing up for a new year at school. For those of us whose summers are so busy — and whose isn’t! — the prospect of winter’s slow-down, with long evenings spent dreaming of next year’s possibilities, is a welcome one.

We’ve worked to bring you a fall publishing season full of planning books, thoughtful books, and above all, practical books to put the right tools into your hands to help build a better, more vibrant world.

A wealth of tools, ideas, and solutions are presented in this season’s strong collection of transition, permaculture, gardening, and farming books. From mixing farming and entrepreneurship for strong, healthy farm businesses (The Farmer’s Office), to integrating permaculture into your market garden (The Permaculture Market Garden), along the way you’ll find options for year-round sustainable growing (The Year-Round Solar Greenhouse), renewable energy and sustainable building (Power from the Sun – 2nd edition, Cordwood Building – revised edition, and a new entry into our Sustainable Building Essentials series, Essential Building Science).

John Michael Greer’s Dark Age America looks at the decline and collapse of North American civilization, offering ideas for what we can do now to leave a more manageable world for our decendants. And Ross Mars adds to that toolbox with The Permaculture Transition Manual, bringing permaculture and transition work together.

Parents and grandparents will appreciate Spit That Out! and Grow Create Inspire — Paige Wolf offers tools and tips to navigate today’s toxic world, and author Crystal Stevens brings inspiring lessons and ideas for creating a life of beauty and abundance. For all of us, Dmitry Orlov’s Shrinking the Technosphere examines the rise of technology and how we can make wise choices to ensure it serves us, rather than the reverse.

There’s definitely something for every bookshelf, here — our very best to you through the cooler, quieter seasons.

Shrinking the TechnosphereGetting a Grip on the Technologies that Limit our Autonomy,

Self-sufficiency and Freedom

dfitry orlov

over the past two ceNturies we have witnessed a wholesale replacement of most of the previous methods of conducting both business and daily life with new, technologically advanced, more efficient methods: if the new ways of doing things are so much better, then we must all be leading relaxed, stress-free, enjoyable lives with plenty of free time to devote to art and leisure activities. But a more careful look at these changes shows us that many of these advances are not weighing favourably in a harm/benefit comparison.

Shrinking the Technosphere guides readers through the process of bringing technology down to a manageable number of carefully chosen and controllable elements. This is critical reading for all who seek to get back to a point where technologies assist us rather than control us.

dfitry orlov was born in Leningrad, USSR and emigrated to the US in the mid-1970s. He holds degrees in Computer Engineering and Linguistics, and has worked in a variety of fields, including high-energy physics, Internet commerce, network security, and advertising. He is the author of several previous books, including Reinventing Collapse and The Five Stages of Collapse (p. 20).
