Description

This book offers a critical look at the environmental impact of digital technology and its gadgets. Maxwell and Miller examine how consumer electronics are made and the risks they pose to the environment.

From conflict-mineral extraction to toxic pollution, the authors shed light on the often-overlooked consequences of our daily reliance on smartphones and other digital devices. They argue that a greener future is possible when technology meets its emancipatory potential.

A thought-provoking exploration of the relationship between technology and the environment, this book encourages readers to look at their phones in a new light and consider the impact they have on our planet.
