If you've not read his work, check it out. It's accessible, heartfelt, and down to earth writing about our connection to place. His essay on why he won't get a computer impacted how I think about technology today.

He's written some really good stuff; if that resonates with you then you should pick up his book of essays. A lot of my caution for technology and accelerated civilization comes from his ideas of keeping track of what's really important in life. He writes a lot just about his place and the people who live there.
