Better Off: Flipping the Switch on Technology

What is the least we need to achieve the most? With this question in mind, MIT graduate Eric Brende flipped the switch on technology. He and his wife, Mary, ditched their car, electric stove, refrigerator, running water, and everything else motorized or "hooked to the grid," and spent eighteen months living in a remote community so primitive in its technology that even the...more

While it had an interesting premise, it didn't come close to living up to my expectations. A naive city boy decides to go "off the grid" for a year, but rather than try it on his own (a la Helen and Scott Nearing), he throws in the kitsch of moving into a community of religious folks akin to the Amish or Mennonites. He drags along some chick he knows (and marries for whatever reason) and spends 200 pages poorly documenting their experience. The style was bland and tedious, though the story could...more

Terrible.
I didn't finish it. The author took a potentially interesting subject and ruined it with trite, cloying, overwriting. His descriptions of his girlfriend/wife are totally ridiculous/insulting/annoying. Dude sounds like a boring jerk, the worst kind.

Shelves: memoir, stunt-non-fiction

I have recently learned that this kind of book is called "stunt nonfiction." The stunt, in this case, was author Brende and his wife living in an Amish-like community for 18 months and writing a book about it. The idea was to explore Brende's mixed feelings about technology by trying out life with little or no modern conveniences. It was all a little pat: their supportive community helped them avoid any real suffering as they learned how to live off the land, their experiences were almost entire...more

A good concept - one of those silly experiment for a year, back to nature books - that was pretty frustrating in the end. Very little about the actual work involved in living on an off-the-grid farm, and a terrible relationship with his wife where she was essentially disregarded throughout the book, made it much less good than I would like it to be.

When did 3 paragraphs of "what I did on my summer vacation" turn into a genre of "goofy stuff I did for a year"? Mix a year (or 18 months) of finding one self and a word processor gets a autobiographical / self help / travelogues all in one. I'll admit, I usually mop it up and this was no exception.

Very much along the lines of Neil Postman in Technopoly and elsewhere, Brende recognized the unthinking acceptance of "technological progress" as a process in which as much is lost as is gained. His questions about technology led him, as he neared the end of graduate studies at M.I.T. to take a break from school--and from electricity--for 18 months, to take a critical look through its absence at the effects of technology on our lives and consider how much technology is "enough" for a good life. To this end, Brende and his new wife went and lived among a mixed community of Amish, Mennonites, and fellow transplants from the modern world. These were largely Amish and Mennonites who thought that their own communities were moving too far from their traditional values, if that tells you anything. While there, the couple worked to make a living just as the other members of this motor-and-electricity-abstinent group did, raising their own food plus some cash crops to make their living. His book explores some of the skills he had to learn, the people he met, and the communal and religious life they shared (Brende and his wife attended some services, even though they are Catholic, while the community as a whole was some form of Anabaptists--a group much persecuted by the Catholics, and other Protestants, once upon a time).

What he found--and to be fair, this seemed to be what he expected to find--was that the technology we take for granted often takes from us as much as it gives to us. Much of our technology serves to insulate--and even isolate--us from the people around us, and our time-saving devices often don't save us that much time when you factor in everything else, including the lifestyle that's necessary to purchase and maintain these things. As he and his wife got into the rhythm of this simpler life, they found that they had more free time, closer interactions with each other and with their community, better health, and overall a higher quality of life. In the course of everyday life, they get the exercise that we go to the gym to get. One of the community's most common sayings--and no doubt an important one because of the lack of technology--was "many hands make light work." As a consequence, members of the community were constantly coming together to share labor and consequently form stronger bonds amongst themselves. Did you catch it the first time when I said "more free time"? As counter-intuitive as it might seem to us, their agrarian, low-tech lifestyle meant, for them, more free time, not less.

All of this said, I am rather more preachy about all of this than Eric Brende is. He's not trying to knock us all over the head with the Luddite stick. In fact, he currently lives in St. Louis. The experiences that formed this book were an experiment, from which he learned a good deal that he and his wife carried forward into their lives back in the modern world. Although it might do many of us some good, it's probably fair to say that Brende lived the life and wrote the book so that we don't have to--we can inspect his account and take from it what we can. I think, in fact, that we could all take a good deal from it.(less)

A bit indulgent, Better Off is nonetheless a compelling read for someone who dabbles in the notions of living with less and deliberate slowing down. It chronicles the eighteen month sojourn of a young MIT student and his wife in an Amish community, where they learn to make do without electricity. The purpose of their sudden immersion into luddism is to understand the impact of modern society's ubiquitous electronic gadgetry. Does it actually improve life or does it simply put us on a vicious cyc...more

A truism in the economy of life with less technology-an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. In being slower, time is more capacious. The event is only in the moment. By speeding through life with technology, you reduce what any given moment can hold. By slowing down, you expand it.

Coming from working in the IT world for over ten years, I've witnessed countless examples of how overwound and hopelessly dependent we've made ourselves on technology, despite the fact that its indiscriminate application to every size and shape of problem has measurably decreased the quality of our lives. This book does succeed in demonstrating qualitatively as well as quantitively that adopting technology only where appropriate and rejecting it whenever possible does in fact improve quality of life. Several other reviewers have expressed skepticism because of the amount of help Eric gets from his neighbors in the community, but these criticisms completely ignore that this sort of folkish communism was and is the norm in societies at this level of technology. This community involvement is in fact the antithesis of the hyper-isolated, hyper-technical world. Numerous studies have detailed the physical and mental benefits from being engaged in one's community precisely as the author describes in the book. Certainly if the author is to be believed he did not shirk opportunities to add his own labor to the pool. "Many hands make light work", whereas many computers only make more, and that's the whole point. As for people who complained about the absence of the wife's perspective, while I noticed this also while reading the fact is he set out to document his own experience, not hers, and she seems more than capable of writing her own book if she was so inclined. If we're going to require authors to include the perspective and experience of everyone involved in their stories we're not going to have very many books, and certainly none worth reading. This all being said, I was put off by the excessive level of mysticism, and that's ultimately why I gave the book three stars. I don't think the book would have suffered at all if he had left out all references to his own religious beliefs. The beliefs of the anabaptists are certainly interesting insofar as they pertain to proscriptions for simple living, but beyond that they're irrelevant also. At any time I expected him to reveal that he had become a Jehovah's Witness and was going door to door in his horse and buggy. It was simply unnecessary and stained what was otherwise an objective, somewhat scientific documentary with self-serving, overblown piety. While I admire the community and the way of life, I could never live there on the basis of the religious zealotry required alone. I do hope, however, that technophiles will take a serious look at the premise examined in this book, especially in light of the imminent threats of global warming and resource depletion. It is well within the realm of possibility that our children or our grandchildren may end up living just like the anabaptists once we have depleted the world of energy and ruined the biosphere.(less)

Brende disappoints. There are two major problems with his work. The first is that he isn't a very good writer. His sentences are rambling and overwrought, and it is often hard to discern his meaning. He also uses the parenthesis until it dies. The second problem is that he is on a very full bandwagon. He goes "off the grid" for a year, laments the current state of society, and then returns to that same society having made only minor (as far as I can tell from the text) life changes and insisting...more

The author Eric Brende, and his wife decide to take eighteen months and live without the modern benefits of technology. This includes electricity, washing machines, and motor powered farm equipment. They also do without refrigeration and have to come up with a way to preserve their own food; largely this is done by canning. While some of this is described, the majority of the book is more an account of the author's thoughts on everything and his interaction with the people of the community. He describes several work functions and takes time to explain in great detail each of the people in the community's habits, personalities, and backgrounds. It is interesting to note that the majority of them come from non-Amish background. Dubbed the Mininites by Brende, they live much like the Amish but have a few different doctrines of their own.

This book is not a good manual for learning how to do any of the homesteading skills or learning to live without electricity. It is more just an account of life and doesn't give the description necessary to performing these tasks safely. While it does have some interesting points (the bodies weakening by air condition)it should not be used as a how-to manual.

I did enjoy Brende's style of writing. It was richly descriptive and had a friendly approachable tone. He didn't try to act like he was better than anyone else because of his foray into this style of living. My only complaint would be that there is not a lot of description about his wife's thoughts and life living in this style. It made occasionally references to what she did but we never really learn how she felt about everything.

A great account on simply living. I would recommend it to anyone trying to get an idea about how to live the simple life.

As far as I know, I was the only one who was thinking the whole time, “That sounds great!” As you may have guessed by the fact that I’m posting this on a website, I did not end up going that direction. But I have often wished to simplify my life, and this book made me think that technologically may be the way to do it.

On the surface, spending hours every day doing manual labor without the healthy glow of a television to welcome you home may not seem too appealing. But as Brende points out in this book, when you aren’t cluttering your life with technology, it necessarily becomes simpler and more relaxed.

Brende grew up in a traditional tech-savvy home, but wanted to escape and find out if a normal person could realistically live a healthy and happy life without technology. He lucked into finding a semi-Amish community that welcomed him in and helped him ease into the lifestyle, and he and his wife lived in the community for over a year. He found that the less technology he had, the more he relied on the neighbors around him, and the deeper his relationships became. And by rejecting technology he avoided the various high costs associated with it (financial expense of purchase and repair, and often others like gas or pollution). He also found that he was healthier and calmer on the whole from added exercise and a slower pace.

On one level, this was an interesting social experiment. On another, it was a well-written and touching memoir. But the most important level is as an inspiring and thought-provoking emancipation proclamation from technology. In a culture and world where everything moves faster and faster and people become more unhappy and unhealthy on the whole, this is a book and message that I think many people should take to heart. I have no desire to do away with technology, just a more thoughtful and responsible use of it. If you think this sounds interesting, you should read it. If you don’t, perhaps you need to read it even more.

This kind of memoir (consumerism, sustainable living, off-grid thinking) is of great interest to me right now. Unfortunately, while the author certainly throws out some interesting ideas and writes a readable-enough book, ultimately I think that the story is very lacking in many ways.

Brende decides that life-as-we-know-it isn't working for him, and prompted by a chance meeting with an almost-Amish man on a train, he and his new wife soon find themselves renting a small farm from a sorta-Amish man and living in the minimalist community for 18 months.

It's an intriguing idea. I have my own fascination with the Amish lifestyle and certainly have wondered if it's a life I could lead. My own curiosity echoes Brende's - how hard is this lifestyle? What do you do without technology? Can a modern-day person really just flip the switch off?

Brende touches on some of these thoughts but it's very surface. I think I was expecting the kind of depth that Kingsolver gave us with Animal, Vegetable, Miracle, or even the kind of warts-and-all story from Plenty (the book from the couple who wrote about their year as locavores). In Better Off, however, we're led to believe that... well, it's easy. The work isn't too hard, the benefits are enormous, and there's no real struggle to make things work. In part, it's because of the community that Brende and his wife are living in - I think the others in that community really save them both. There are numerous passages about 'many hands make light work' - with other folk showing up regularly to help Brende deal with the day-to-day aspects of life off the gride. Their experiment seems relatively painless. By the end of the book, they have left the community and moved back to a more urban environment. They are still trying to use as little tech as possible, which amounts to home-schooling their children, no computer or television.

Two things stood out for me in this: the importance of a community of people to help in the larger chores, and the importance of reducing the amount of stuff we buy. But these aren't new ideas, and without a better accounting of their time living without technology, it becomes an intersting read, but one without a lot of substance.
