Digital Degrowth
Technology in the Age of Survival
By Michael Kwet
The world is racing toward an irreversible ecological catastrophe. Environmental science clarifies that humans must reduce total material resource use, requiring a radical redistribution of wealth within and between countries. Yet more attention must be paid to how the digital economy fits into this equation.
Michael Kwet, a leading expert on digital colonialism, presents a new framework for the digital society. Merging the science of degrowth with a global analysis of the high-tech economy, he argues that digital capitalism and colonialism must be abolished quickly.
In Digital Degrowth, Kwet maps a path to a people's tech future. He calls for direct action against Silicon Valley, the US Empire, and power elites everywhere to realize a radically egalitarian digital society that fosters equality in harmony with nature.
