- "The wilderness once offered men a plausible way of life. Now it function as a psychiatric refuge . Soon there will be no wilderness.. Soon there will be no place to go.. Then the madness becomes universal.. and the universe goes mad"
This book was generally about four people who protest o against the destruction of southwestern United States. The way Abbey forms this quote is quite interesting yet very true at the same time. He is basically explaining that at one point in life the wilderness/ nature was a huge factor in ones life, and now its simply "useless" to many. While plenty of people appreciate their surroundings, there are plenty who are uninformed and dont care. Abbey explains that since the majority could careless about nature, soon we will have no nature, nothing to see, no where to go! This was a very interesting book, and when presented in class i found the majority of the things mentioned pretty cool. I see a lot of what was happening at the time of this novel, to things that are happening now. The protest against various aspects of disagreements of society in general.
