Postgrowth Digital Futures: Digital Technologies, Degrowth, and Radical Abundance

By Sy Taffel

How can digital technologies help address ecological crises instead of making them worse?

This book offers a bold vision for a fairer, greener digital future. Drawing on degrowth and postgrowth ideas, it challenges capitalism's model of endless growth by focusing on limits, sharing and radical abundance. Taffel explores practical ways to redesign devices, platforms, infrastructure and digital culture to promote social justice, ecological balance and well-being.

Connecting sustainability with critiques of surveillance capitalism and data colonialism, this is a vital study that shows how technology can support a just transition rather than deepen inequality.
