Suggested reading

I've been immersing myself in anti-civ literature for the past few weeks. Here are some of the best pieces I've read so far:

Post-Civ!, a deeper exploration
http://www.tangledwilderness.org/?p=102
A brief critique of civilization and primitivism and treatise on post-civilizational theory. Also includes a fictive depiction of a possible post-civilized society.

Hunter-Gatherer #1
http://media.vidipedia.org/anticiv/HunterGatherer1.pdf
The notorious CrimeThinc. collective brings together rewilding, DIY, magick, "folk science" and more in this inspirational "Journal of Folklore & Folkwar"

Why I Am Not A Primitivist
http://media.vidipedia.org/anticiv/JasonMcQuinnWhyIAmNotAPrimitivist.odt
Probably much the best critique of primitivism out there (which is to say the only decent one). The piece starts with a summary of the anarcho-primitivist discourse of the 1980's-1990's and then offers a brief assessment of the pro's and con's of primitivism.
