In a state of vulnerability, racked with eco-anxiety, he is contacted by the spirit of writer, environmentalist, and Walden author Henry David Thoreau.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs their Socratic dialogue continues, Cédric notices striking parallels between the suffocating commercialism of mid-19th-century America and the unsustainable, alienating, tech-driven consumerism of today. Both societies are shaped by a single priority—economic growth—that squanders the earth’s natural resources and separates us from nature. Inspired by Thoreau’s return to nature, Cédric begins dreaming of his own retreat from urban life to a self-sufficient cabin in the woods.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cédric Taling","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44995495919663,"sku":"9781910593837","price":1680.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/6428\/9071\/files\/9781910593837.jpg?v=1772242906","url":"https:\/\/lunabooks.in\/products\/thoreau-and-me","provider":"Luna Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
