I happened upon an article that appeared in Harpers back in September 1988 ("Against PCs," p. 17-18). It might explain the high-tech solar panels in the picture of Wendell Berry in 2011: "Like almost everybody else, I am hooked to the energy corporations, which I do not admire. I hope to become less hooked to them. In my work, I try to be as little hooked as possible. A a farmer, I do almost all of my work with horses. As a writer, I work with a pencil or a pen and a piece of paper."
He might have more of a solar-fed flow of electricity now, but I'd bet he doesn't have a "PC"!
Although there are questions that require generalizable or “approaching universal” answers, I find that, as I get older, the more interesting (and dare I say, richer and more valid) questions are those that seek to understand the individual hearts of experience. I can probably get away with that more being of psychology. All that to say, great read, Mark, and I need to add the authors to my reading list.

This line resonated with me: “Rather than remaking the human to fit the built world, the built world should meet the human”
