Ivan Illich argues for individual personal control over life, the
tools and energy we use. A work of seminal importance.
The conviviality for which noted social philosopher Ivan Illich is
arguing is one in which the individual's personal energies are under
direct personal control and in which the use of tools is responsibly
limited. A work of seminal importance, this book claims our attention
for the urgency of its appeal, the stunning clarity of its logic and the
overwhelmingly human note that it sounds.
