He details not only the symptoms and effects of acedia, but also remedies for it. He shows how acedia afflicts persons in all states of life- priests, religious, and married or single laymen. He begins his study of acedia by tracing the wisdom of the Church on the subject from the Desert Fathers to Saint Thomas Aquinas. Although its name harkens back to antiquity and the Middle Ages, and seems to have been largely forgotten, acedia is experienced by countless modern people who describe their condition as depression, melancholy, burn-out, or even mid-life crisis. It robs a person of his capacity for joy and leaves him feeling empty, or void of meaningĪbbot Nault says that acedia is the most oppressive of demons. Rather, acedia is a gloomy combination of weariness, sadness, and a lack of purposefulness. The word "sloth," however, can be misleading, for acedia is not laziness in fact it can manifest as busyness or activism. The noonday devil is the demon of acedia, the vice also known as sloth.

He also taught in the Department of Family Studies at the University of Guelph as a lecturer and as an assistant professor. In 1975 he moved to Canada to work at the preschool at the University of Guelph in Guelph, Ontario. In 1973, he received a Master of Education in Child Studies from Tufts University.

Toward the end of his life, plagued by personal tragedy and financial failure, Twain grew more and more cynical and pessimistic. It wasn't until The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1885), that he was recognized by the literary establishment as one of the greatest writers America would ever produce. His career encompassed such varied occupations as printer, Mississippi riverboat pilot, journalist, travel writer, and publisher, which furnished him with a wide knowledge of humanity and the perfect grasp of local customs and speech manifested in his writing.

Science fiction professor Lisa Yaszek says that from the vantage of 2021, the book has some weaknesses when it comes to race and gender. Snow Crash is still as fun and stylish as ever, but some aspects of the book have dated poorly. “I started making a list of everyone in Silicon Valley who’s cited this work as inspiring them,” Kirtley says, “and I just kind of stopped at a certain point, because it was basically everyone.” Geek’s Guide to the Galaxy host David Barr Kirtley notes that the novel has inspired countless entrepreneurs and inventors, including John Carmack, Reid Hoffman, and Palmer Luckey.
