"#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. "

"The 'Whole Earth Catalog,' first published in 1968, was a revolutionary resource that blended technology, ecology, and counterculture ideals. Created by Stewart Brand, the catalog aimed to empower individuals with the tools and knowledge necessary for self-sufficiency and sustainable living. It featured a diverse array of content, from books on organic farming and renewable energy to DIY tech projects and alternative education resources.

The catalog became a cultural touchstone for the 1960s and 70s, inspiring a generation of thinkers, makers, and activists who sought to challenge the status quo. Its influence can still be felt today in the maker movement, open-source software, and the modern DIY ethos. The Whole Earth Catalog was more than just a publication; it was a manifesto for a new way of living in harmony with the planet. #WholeEarthCatalog #Counterculture #TechHistory #Sustainability #DIY"

I quite like the redesign of @signalapp graphic identity, to be honest.

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.'"
