It was 11pm when I checked my email for the last time and turned
off my phone for what I hoped would be forever. No running water,
no car, no electricity or any of the things it powers: the
internet, phone, washing machine, radio or light bulb. Just a
wooden cabin, on a smallholding, by the edge of a stand of spruce.
In this honest and lyrical account of a remarkable life without
modern technology, Mark Boyle explores the hard won joys of
building a home with his bare hands, learning to make fire,
collecting water from the spring, foraging and fishing. What he
finds is an elemental life, one governed by the rhythms of the sun
and seasons, where life and death dance in a primal landscape of
blood, wood, muck, water, and fire - much the same life we have
lived for most of our time on earth. Revisiting it brings a deep
insight into what it means to be human at a time when the
boundaries between man and machine are blurring.
