Time's Up!

An Uncivilized Solution to a Global Crisis

by Keith Farnish

Praise

"Keith Farnish has it right: time has practically run out, and the 'system' is the problem"

—Professor James Hansen, Columbia University

"Keith's book is a progress report from one man's search for ... meaning [in the context of the] unfolding drama of wrenching change.... I encourage you to join efforts with him, and to work on discovering a future in which you and your children might find a place."

—Dmitry Orlov, author of Reinventing Collapse

"I think we are beginning to see mounting awareness of the gravity and scope of the crisis afflicting life on earth. Keith's Time's Up is a huge contribution to understanding the extremity of our situation and providing ideas for facing up to ending a fundamentally false and devouring technoculture."

—John Zerzan, author of Running on Emptiness: The Pathology of Civilization, Twilight of the Machines, and others

"In Time's Up! Keith Farnish has taken that [late night conversation] process a step further and crafted the raw material of these intense, personal polemics into a thorough and well-argued book."

—Dan Grace, Resurgence Magazine

"I have read no clearer exposition of the interconnectivity of life. Nor have I come across a more reasoned explanation for our selfishness. If you read it, and I exhort you to read it, you will see that there is no other solution but the wholesale deconstruction of industrial society."

—Jon Hughes, Fourth World Review

"This is the book I wanted to read. Monbiot and Lynas are good but they don't go far enough. [Time's Up] is diagnostic and remedial not just at the level of behaviour but at the level of impulse. It's the most subversive book I've ever read.... It's also unexpectedly entertaining and a page turner."

—Ana Salote, author of Tree Talk
