520    "'It was 11pm when I checked my email for the last time 
       and turned off my phone for what I hoped would be 
       forever.' No running water, no car, no electricity or any 
       of the things it powers: the internet, phone, washing 
       machine, radio or light bulb. Just a wooden cabin, on a 
       smallholding, by the edge of a stand of spruce. In this 
       honest and lyrical account of a remarkable life without 
       modern technology, Mark Boyle explores the hard won joys 
       of building a home with his bare hands, learning to make 
       fire, collecting water from the spring, foraging and 
       fishing. What he finds is an elemental life, one governed 
       by the rhythms of the sun and seasons, where life and 
       death dance in a primal landscape of blood, wood, muck, 
       water, and fire--much the same life we have lived for most
       of our time on earth. Revisiting it brings a deep insight 
       into what it means to be human at a time when the 
       boundaries between man and machine are blurring."--
