Digital, we stop everything and think

After “sustainable development” and “green growth”, the time has come for “ecological transition through digital technology”. Trapped in these dire fables, humans are forced to adapt. Fascinated, most of them see no problem with it; others note that they "unfortunately no longer have a choice". However, the tragedies are piling up: health crisis linked to overexposure to screens, ecological cost of the digital industry, or even democratic regression. By tracing the history of the digitalization of the world, then looking at its driving forces and its impacts, Yves Marry explores the different resistance strategies that can be used against it. From a techno-critical perspective, he comes to propose alternatives, individual and above all collective, to finally derail the digital steamroller.
