After a degree in mining, he still hadn't worked out what he wanted to do with his life, or why he felt so alienated from modern society.

His writings demonstrate a natural closeness to nature and a well researched knowledge of, to quote one of his book titles, The Culture of Make-Believe. His writings and lectures present a compelling case for a fundamental rethink of the technophile worldview. He believes that civilisation (life in cities) and high technology is fundamentally unsustainable, so is labelled an anarcho-primitivist. See Also
