Gathered Remains: Essays on Wildness, Domestication, Community and Resistance

Gathered Remains (2018) 

About the book: Gathered Remains is the new collection of essays from anarcho-primitivist writer, Kevin Tucker. It focuses on understanding how domestication undermines our needs as social animals and redirects them through the processes of domestication to buy complacency. In depth looks at the nature and rise of addiction, the ownership of violence by the state and subjugation to the law, the inherent disconnect of the Interface Revolution and social media, and how domestication shifts our ability to grasp wildness and resilience, plus much more. 

"Gathered Remains is the definitive tour de force for our times. With writing that flows like a wind-kissed field, Tucker's impeccable reason and rich scholarship forges something unique: inspiration in the face of soul-breaking truth. In so doing, we are provided with a map of reality, and critically, a way to live in harmony with nature again."

"Kevin Tucker's writings have been absolutely essential in the development of an emerging branch of anarchist thinking about the natural world, environmental activism, and the nature of civilization itself. Drawing from his diverse studies of naturalists, philosophers, and contemporary ethnographers, Tucker's work is staggering for both its breadth and depth. As the ecological crisis we're all facing grows even more urgent-and the mourning and despair that accompanies it even more crushing-this collection couldn't be more timely; the modern environmental movement is searching for answers, and Tucker presents a challenging, and compelling, argument that for too long we simply haven't been asking the right questions."
