Going to seed : a counterculture memoir

Fairlie, Simon2022
Books
At a young age, Simon Fairlie rejected the rat race and embarked on a new trip to find his own path. He dropped out of Cambridge University to hitchhike to Istanbul and bicycle through India. He established a commune in France, was arrested multiple times for squatting and civil disobedience, and became a leading figure in protests against the British government's road building programs of the 1980s and - later - in legislative battles to help people secure access to land for low impact, sustainable living. In 'Going to Seed' he shares the highs of his experience, alongside the painful costs of his ongoing search for freedom.
