Human societies, like ecosystems, evolve in complex and unpredictable ways, making it futile to try to impose rigid ideological forms on the patterns of evolutionary change. Instead, social change must explore many pathways over which we have no control. The troubling and exhilarating prospect of an open-ended future, he proposes, requires dissensus-a deliberate acceptance of radical diversity that widens the range of potential approaches to infinity.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWritten in three parts, the book places the present crisis of the industrial world in its historical and ecological context in part one; part two explores the toolkit for Ecotechnic Age, and part three opens a door to the complexity of future visions.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFor anyone concerned about peak oil and the future of the industrial society, this book provides a solid analysis of how we got to where we are, and a practical toolkit to prepare for the future.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJohn Michael Greer\u003c\/strong\u003e is the award-winning author of more than fifty books, including T\u003cem\u003ehe New Encyclopedia of the Occult, The Druidry Handbook, The Celtic Golden Dawn\u003c\/em\u003e and C\u003cem\u003eircles of Power: An Introduction to Hermetic Magic.\u003c\/em\u003e An initiate in Freemasonry, the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, the Martinist Order, and three Druid traditions, Greer served as the Grand Archdruid of the Ancient Order of Druids in America (AODA) for twelve years.
