People often believe that we can overcome the profound environmental and climate crises we face by smart systems, green innovations and more recycling.

However, the quest for complex technological solutions, which rely on increasingly exotic and scarce materials, makes this unlikely.

Bihouix skilfully goes against the grain to argue that 'high' technology will not solve global problems and envisages a different approach to build a more resilient and sustainable society.
