It provides a critical reply to the innovation optimists and outlines relevant dimensions of harmful innovation, distinguishing between the types of harm brought on by innovation. The contributed chapters focus on various themes, including a bibliometric analysis of the scientific literature on the harmful consequences of innovation, solar photovoltaic waste, process innovations, transferring innovations from research to practice in clinical healthcare, and social innovations.

This book serves as a powerful response to the prevailing notion that innovation is inherently beneficial. While the mainstream media and politicians frequently advocate for increased innovation as a means to progress, the chapters in this edited volume delve into the detrimental impacts of innovation on society and the environment.
The book commences with a comprehensive exploration of the darker aspects of innovation, setting the stage for subsequent contributions from esteemed experts in the field. It serves as a critical rejoinder to the proponents of innovation, complementing the existing list of indicators indicating steady human progress with a comprehensive list of indicators highlighting sustained deterioration, largely attributed to innovation.
The volume proceeds to outline pertinent dimensions of harmful innovation, distinguishing between the various types of harm caused by this phenomenon.
The various contributed chapters delve into diverse themes, including:
A bibliometric analysis of the scientific literature on the harmful consequences of innovation.
Harmful side-effects from solar photovoltaic waste.
The harmful consequences of process innovations on working practices in domains such as accountancy.
The challenges associated with translating innovations from research to practice in clinical healthcare.
