Book
Gaia's web : how digital environmentalism can combat climate change, restore biodiversity, cultivate empathy, and regenerate the Earth / Karen Bakker.
"This book explores how tools of the Digital Age might be mobilized to solve our most pressing environmental challenges, from climate change to biodiversity loss. It argues that digital technology might accelerate environmental sustainability and that engaging with environmental issues may transform Big Tech for the better, if the sector successfully addresses spiraling energy use, pollution, privacy and surveillance issues"-- Provided by publisher.
"At the uncanny edge of the scientific frontier, Gaia's Web explores the promise and pitfalls the Digital Age holds for the future of our planet. Instead of the Internet of Things, environmental scientist and tech entrepreneur Karen Bakker asks, why not consider the Internet of Living Things? In an engaging take on conservation technology, Bakker looks at the digital tech applications to environmental issues from predatory harvesting of environmental data to human bycatch and eco-surveillance capitalism. If we address these issues and mobilize digitally mediated forms of citizen science, she argues, digital tech could help reverse environmental harms and advance environmental sustainability. And in the process, Big Tech might be transformed for the better. Gaia's Web introduces novel ways of addressing our most pressing environmental challenges--mitigating climate change, protecting endangered species--and creating new possibilities for ecological justice by empowering nonhumans to participate in environmental regulation." -- Adapted from publisher's description.
