UNCIVILISATION: The Dark Mountain Network

A space for conversations in a time of global disruption

WELCOME

The Dark Mountain Project began as a conversation between two writers, became a manifesto and has branched into a host of further conversations - not least on the Dark Mountain website, in the pages of our two books, and at the Uncivilisation festivals which we ran in 2010 and 2011.

This site  is not run or overseen by the core Dark Mountain team; it's an open space for those inspired by the project to make contact, make plans, tell stories, spread news and hold conversations.

The site is gently overseen by a volunteer moderator, but it mostly operates on trust. It's a pretty liberal space, but it doesn't tolerate violent displays of prejudice, excessive rudeness or vast spools of irrelevance. Disputation is welcome, but please remember that you are disputing with other human  beings, not machines or metaphors. 

If you have any problems, or you want to contact the Dark Mountain Project's curators, please  email info@dark-mountain.net.

Each of us reads the tea leaves we find in the bottom of our cup in our own way.  Mine tell me that over the next 50 years, a contraction of devastating scope and scale will take place around the globe, changing the fundamentals of…
