How can digital technologies help address ecological crises instead of making them worse?



This book offers a bold vision for a fairer, greener digital future. Drawing on degrowth and postgrowth ideas, it challenges capitalisms model of endless growth by focusing on limits, sharing and radical abundance. Taffel explores practical ways to redesign devices, platforms, infrastructure and digital culture to promote social justice, ecological balance and well-being.



Connecting sustainability with critiques of surveillance capitalism and data colonialism, this is a vital study that shows how technology can support a just transition rather than deepen inequality.

Arvustused

"A book that is so needed. Sy Taffel's thoughtful overview of the urgent issues surrounding digital technology and degrowth shows how the current trajectory for tech expansion comes at an ecocidal cost." Melissa Gregg, University of Bristol This is the book we have been waiting for. Sy Taffel cuts through dangerous ideologies of growth(ism) and digi-tech (non)solutions to propose commonsensical strategies towards a sustainable, convivial planet. Bram Buscher, Wageningen University
