Whole Earth Catalog

Access to Tools
Book • 1969
The Whole Earth Catalog was published between 1968 and 1972, and sporadically thereafter until 1998.

It was designed to provide 'access to tools' for newly dispersed counterculture communities, back-to-the-land households, and innovators in technology, design, and architecture.

The catalog featured product reviews, essays, and articles on various topics including sustainable design, experimental media, and community practices.

It played a significant role in the environmental movement and was influential in shaping the cyberculture of the time.

The catalog won the National Book Award in 1972 for its 'Last Whole Earth Catalog' edition.
