L'âge des low tech - vers une civilisation techniquement soutenable

Description

Faced with the alarming signs of the global environmental crisis - climate change, the collapse of biodiversity, soil degradation, widespread pollution, tensions over energy and raw materials - we are pinning our hopes on 'green' technologies and digital technology. However, these new technologies consume more scarce resources, are more difficult to recycle and are too complex, leading us to a dead end. This book dismantles the mirages of high-tech innovations and proposes to question the technological race to the front by developing low tech, more sober and more resilient. It is not a question of going back to the candle, but of exploring the possible paths towards an economic and industrial system compatible with planetary limits.
