bookpunk reviewed Digital Degrowth by Michael Kwet
Clear recommendation for everyone interested or active in tech-related issues
4 stars
This is a valuable book with rich empirical insights and with mostly clear writing. It contributes to an important discussion we need to have throughout societies and communities, especially those working on tech or tech-related issues. The first seven chapters and their strong empirical body are the strongest part of the book. The final two chapters, mainly oriented towards normative and instructive descriptions, sometimes feel a bit too repetitive and theory-driven. Still definitely worth reading to the end. The book provides extensive references for further reading and is packed with real-world examples that underpin the topic's relevance and can be an inspiration for activists and storytelling.
