In a state of vulnerability, racked with eco-anxiety, he is contacted by the spirit of writer, environmentalist, and Walden author Henry David Thoreau.As their Socratic dialogue continues, Cdric notices striking parallels between the suffocating commercialism of mid-19th-century America and the unsustainable, alienating, tech-driven consumerism of today. Both societies are shaped by a single priority-economic growth-that squanders the earths natural resources and separates us from nature. Inspired by Thoreaus return to nature, Cdric begins dreaming of his own retreat from urban life to a self-sufficient cabin in the woods.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67920989126944,"sku":"NEW1910593834","price":38.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/91sQgPYf3bL.jpg?v=1792675683","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/en-ca\/products\/thoreau-and-me-1910593834","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
