Against the Machine is a prophetic critique of techno-capitalism's dehumanizing effects, tracing the Machine's evolution from the Industrial Revolution to AI, which has uprooted humanity from nature, culture, and spirituality, replacing sacred order with science, self, sex, and screens while fostering spiritual exhaustion and environmental destruction. Paul Kingsnorth argues that this system enforces hypocrisy and alienation, urging resistance through suspicion of power, reconnection to land and heritage, and ascetic self-denial to reclaim the "Four Ps" (past, people, place, prayer) against modernity's "Four Ss," offering a spiritual manual for dissidents seeking restoration amid the Antichrist-like encroachment of technology.
