Technology and the global tech industry have a significant impact on social, health, economic, and environmental relations and politics. Peter C. Little argues that the power and influence of electronics and Big Tech, from the proliferation of digital platforms to the expansion of global electronic waste streams, is a political-ecological problem that impacts communities and lives in both the Global North and South. The book explores the underlying toxicity, precarity, and planetary politics of global tech through a mixture of engagements with tech criticism, ethnographic case studies, and critical analysis and development of guiding concepts. It exposes and interrogates the underlying toxicity, precarity, and planetary politics of global tech, including justice struggles that confront technopower, such as "just tech" forms of social action that further reinforce the importance of a global political ecology of technocapitalism in the digital age.
