Gaia's web : how digital environmentalism can combat climate change, restore biodiversity, cultivate empathy, and regenerate the Earth / Karen Bakker.

Bakker, Karen J., (author.).

Summary:

"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.
