Anarchy in the USA…A singular journey toward intellectual freedom. John Zerzan may be more famous for his friends and foes than for his radically groundbreaking ideas about the human condition. Yet it’s Zerzan’s revolutionary ideas that caused notice from people like infamous Merry Prankster and Beat Neal Cassady, writer Fredy Perlman, Slavo Zizek (whom Zerzan describes as a ‘detestable commie,’ and yes, even Theodore Kaczynski (whose bombs-in-the-mail approach Zerzan denounced.) In The Education of an Anarchist, Zerzan relates the events, teachers, and experiences that shaped his philosophy. He turns his sharp analysis inward to explain the origins and evolution of his anarcho-primitivist beliefs that have inspired activists worldwide. From Catholic schools (including a monastic Benedictine high school) to Acid Tests to Stanford University to Anti-Authoritarian Anonymous to every corner of the globe, readers will meet the people who shaped and influenced Zerzan’s singular life.  In this book, Zerzan’s argument on the reasonable use of targeted property destruction against that which oppresses us takes on new meaning as he mixes the political and personal ideologies that converge and become even more precise and newly compelling. Includes personal photographs and rare event posters documenting Zerzan’s life and work.  A few of Zerzan's previous books include, His major books are Future Primitive and Other Essays (Feral House,1994), Running on Emptiness (Feral House, 2002), Against Civilization: Readings and Reflections ( Feral House, 2005) and Twilight of the Machines (Feral House, 2008), Why Hope (Feral House, 2015), When We Are Human (Feral House, 2021), A People's History of Civilization (Feral House, 2018).
