Helpful Score: 5

I absolutely loved this book. Brende moves with his new wife to a Amish-like settlement in order to escape technology. The book is a fascinating discussion of how life can work in a low-tech world. Community and family was essential to Brende's experience, and there is good discussion of spirituality and religion.

I was expecting more focus on the harrowing and hard aspects of living without electricity. But the book is much deeper and fuller than that.
