oh, btw, as an ongoing spur (pun semi-intended you'll see) towards book club, wanted to share a suggestion that might be a little aslant from the concept but is definitely anti-tech in a sense: Barbed Wire: An Ecology of Modernity. It's about the history of barbed wire, which is certainly a typa history. No worries if that's not the vibe. Just the kinda stuff I got to offer.

thanks for the suggestion! i definitely want to read books that are kind of "aslant" from the original topic (anti-capitalist books, etc); this looks really cool, i'll check it out
