Description

Product 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. Review A smart sideways look at where we are and what we call progress. The Earthbound Report About the Author Philippe Bihouix is an independent author and engineer. He worked for 25 years in various industrial sectors including construction, energy, chemicals, transport, telecommunications and aerospace, in Europe and Africa. He is a member of the Institut Momentum, a French think-tank on the Anthropocene, ecological overshoot and transition.
