An American author known for his advocacy of environmental issues and criticism of public land policies. One of Abbey's best-known novels, The Monkey Wrench Gang, has been cited as an inspiration by the radical environmental groups Earth First and ELF. The novel centers on a small group of eco-warriors who travel the American West attempting to put the brakes on uncontrolled human expansion by committing acts of ecotage, or sabotage on behalf of ecology, against industrial development projects. Abbey claimed the novel was written merely to "entertain and amuse," and was intended as symbolic satire. Others saw it as a how-to guide, as the main characters burn billboards and attack things, such as road-building equipment. Based on his writings and statements—and in a few cases, his actions—many believe that Abbey condoned ecotage.
