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.
