Brand and the Whole Earth crew had a strong and lasting influence on my life and thinking.
I got tired of the libertarian slant that developed in the 90's and sort of "dropped out".
His book How Buildings Learn is quite good.

I didn't passively accept my fate. My life among my fellow unwealthy, uneducated, perverted, mediocre, evil USians has sucked nonetheless.

I didn't either. I got on an airplane with a one-way ticket and never looked back.
