A new framework for the digital society that merges the science of degrowth with a global analysis of the high-tech economy.

The world is racing toward an irreversible ecological catastrophe. Environmental science makes clear that humans must reduce total material resource use, requiring a radical redistribution of wealth within and between countries. Yet little attention has been paid to how the digital economy fits into this equation.

Michael Kwet is a Postdoctoral researcher of the Centre for Social Change at the University of Johannesburg and a leading expert on digital colonialism, and here presents a new framework for the digital society. Merging the science of degrowth with a global analysis of the high-tech economy, he argues that digital capitalism and colonialism must be abolished quickly.

In Digital Degrowth, Kwet maps out a path to a people's tech future. He calls for direct action against Silicon Valley, US imperialism and power elites everywhere in order to realise a radically egalitarian digital society that fosters equality in harmony with nature.
