The strangeness is the point. Illich writes against the grain of every assumption the reader carries in. If it felt normal, it wouldn't be doing anything. What felt strangest to you on this read?
Read this strange book closely. That is what all the best books require. Strangeness as an invitation, not a warning. Which book changed how you think about tools?
