I was hugely influenced by the Whole Earth Catalog in my formative years, so it's great to see that its founder is still active: "Tech legend Stewart Brand on Musk, Bezos and his extraordinary life: ‘We don’t need to passively accept our fate’" - https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/feb/25/tech-legend-stewart-brand-on-musk-bezos-and-his-extraordinary-life-we-dont-need-to-passively-accept-our-fate

"#StewartBrand is not one to get mired in nostalgia. Even though the 86-year-old’s claim to fame is founding the influential counterculture bible #WholeEarthCatalog — canon for first-generation hackers and homesteading hippies — he’s not stuck in the past. And that goes for the #floatinghome in Sausalito he’s inhabited happily for 40 years. "

A Short History Of The #WholeEarthCatalog
Dan
July 5, 2020"Who remembers the Whole Earth Catalog? Anyone?
"For some, the Whole Earth Catalog was the bible for all things green and #ecofriendly, #offgrid, #BackToNature, and #enviromentally conscious and #sustainable.
"If you think environmentalism is a new phenomenon you’d be wrong.
"The seeds of the movement were planted with the writings of #JohnMuir in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. But perhaps, even more so by the publication in 1854 of #HenryDavidThoreau’s influential masterpiece #Walden.
"The modern environmental movement can arguably be traced back to the publication of #RachelCarson’s classic #SilentSpring in 1962.
"One of the major rallying points for the eco-movement was concern for the #pollution of the Great Lakes.
[...]
"As John Markoff, a technology writer for the New York Times, told the Guardian, the Whole Earth Catalog was 'the internet before the internet. It was the book of the future. It was a web in newsprint.'"
