Lädt ... Shrinking the Technosphere: Getting a Grip on Technologies that Limit our Autonomy, Self-Sufficiency and Freedomvon Dmitry Orlov

"The harmful side of even relatively benign technology can be plain to see, but is hardly ever discussed. This book is critical of many aspects of technology, but it intends to evaluate each aspect of technology based on a harm/benefit tradeoff, showing that the best technologies are naturelike and are not harmful at all."-- Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

I felt the book suffered from a lack of concrete examples of ways to eliminate the influence of the technosphere from our lives, and would benefit from some stories from the community of smart people [author:Dmitry Orlov|1060522] has gathered around him.
I also found the scattered topics didn't form a cohesive approach to the central shrinking theme. Each topic loosely tied to the idea of technosphere, but ranged from lifestyle blocks in the Siberian outback, western meddling in Russian politics via Color Revolutions and the psychopathic behaviour of modern bureaucratic organisations.
Overall, I enjoyed the read. Orlov has a good no-nonsense voice that comes through in this book. It's a good addition to the literature of Peak Everything, although not the book I would give to someone as an introduction to those ideas. (
