| Publisher Description: As we face a profound environmental crisis, we often think that it can be overcome by smart systems and green innovations, but this is risky since increasingly complex technological solutions rely on less abundant materials. A best-seller in France, this English language edition introduces readers to an alternative perspective on our technological future. If 'high' technology will not solve global problems, Bihouix skilfully envisages a more resilient and sustainable society. |
