This book is a must-read for anyone who seeks to understand the harsh reality of digital colonialism, driven by the American empire. Kohei Saito, author of \"Slow Down,\" echoes this sentiment, highlighting the urgency of addressing ecological catastrophe. The world is hurtling towards an irreversible ecological disaster, and environmental science unequivocally emphasizes the need for a drastic reduction in total material resource use, necessitating a significant redistribution of wealth both within and between countries. However, the digital economy has received relatively little attention in this crucial equation. Michael Kwet, a prominent expert on digital colonialism, offers a fresh perspective on the digital society by merging the science of degrowth with a comprehensive global analysis of the high-tech economy. He argues that digital capitalism and colonialism must be dismantled swiftly to pave the way for a truly egalitarian digital society that promotes equality in harmony with nature. In \"Digital Degrowth,\" Kwet outlines a roadmap for a people's tech future. He calls for direct action against Silicon Valley, US imperialism, and power elites worldwide to achieve a radically egalitarian digital society that fosters harmony with nature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 406g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 x 155 x 26 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780745349862\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Michael Kwet","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":46604267749626,"sku":"9780745349862","price":14.68,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/files\/1724444346740_book.jpg?v=1724576100","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/digital-degrowth-technology-in-the-age-of-survival-9780745349862","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
