I will have to agree with Lloyd, what is necessary for survival of us and the planet is to "start to wean off industrialized everything" or at best minimize our technological footprint.
Doing as much as possible by hand would make people stronger physically and sharper mentally, and also reduce resource extraction, production waste, transportation waste and the eventual disposal of almost everything manufactured currently, as limited lifespans are engineered into almost every product made today.
Consuming and using less is doable currently, it is a matter of a shift in cultural ideology, though unfortunately not likely to happen.
And also thanks for the book reference, it definitely sounds interesting and appropriate for this posting!
