Romanticism about nature and whatnot. Regardless of the merits of the hunter-gatherer lifestyle, one thing marks it far inferior: the ability of the author to make his argument and have it heard. H-g societies lack knowledge beyond the most immediate needed to survive. The author himself probably knows more about the world and the universe (excepting the specifics of how to survive in the wild - a mundane problem) than the entirety of all hunter gatherer societies. I'd rather drink HFCS-infused water, eat processed meat, and breathe diesel fumes than be unable to think the thoughts I think today because I lack the framework to even think them. No thanks.
