John Zerzan is an American anarchist and primitivist philosopher and author. His works criticise agricultural civilisation as inherently oppressive and advocate drawing upon the ways of life of hunter gatherers as an inspiration for what a free society should look like. Some subjects of his criticism include domestication, language, symbolic thought (such as mathematics and art) and the concept of time. Lang Gore has played at many occupations over the decades, including secretary, cab driver, tree planter, pamphleteer, forest-fire fighter, bouncer and logger. He is the author of Hunting Seasons (Unrelenting Press, 2010).
