Environmental science makes clear that humans must reduce total material resource use, requiring a radical redistribution of wealth within and between countries. Yet little attention has been paid to how the digital economy fits into this equation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMichael 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn Digital Degrowth, Kwet maps out a path to a people's tech future. He calls for direct action against Silicon Valley, US imperialism and power elites everywhere in order to realise a radically egalitarian digital society that fosters equality in harmony with nature.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners Books Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41136416653447,"sku":"9780745349862","price":18.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0357\/3199\/6807\/files\/9780745349862.jpg?v=1711645151","url":"https:\/\/thebookhousebroughtyferry.co.uk\/products\/9780745349862","provider":"The Bookhouse Broughty Ferry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
