New Climate Change

The potential impact of runaway climate-change has long been grossly underestimated. The world is rapidly approaching an existential crisis—the Anthropogenic Extinction—the sixth annihilation of Earth-bound species since life first appeared 3.5 billion years ago. Assisted by teammates Eric Evans and Bella Moreno, and Thay Tuan, the team’s consigliere, Luc Ponti, now an astrophysicist at MIT, succeeds in creating a stabilized micro-wormhole, which is launched by NASA into high-Earth orbit and used as a means to contact intelligent life on exoplanets well within the “Goldilocks” zone.

Addresses how tech empowers community organizing and protest movements to combat the systems of capitalism and data exploitation that helped drive tech’s own rise to ubiquity. Our smartphones have brought digital technology into the most intimate spheres of life. It’s time to take control of...

This is how the toxic man-made global catastrophes we face can all be solved by doing one thing: evolve out of burning carbon fuels, and into solar clean fuels. Fossil fuels powered the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries, but the needs of the 21st century are not met with an 18th-century approach.

Der Siegeszug unserer entfesselten Technologien destabilisiert den gesamten Planeten und eröffnet ein neues Zeitalter: das New Dark Age. Eine seiner erschreckendsten Signaturen ist der Klimawandel, den James Bridle in diesem Kapitel seines aufsehenerregenden Buches beschreibt. Während neue Technologien immer schneller und immer massiver bis in die letzten Winkel unseres Lebens vordringen, sind wir immer weniger dazu in der Lage, sie unseren Erfordernissen anzupassen. Sie sind längst zu einer Bedrohung für humane Lebensformen geworden.

Can flying be green? Everyone loves to travel, and the industry’s room for growth seems almost limitless—except that flying will soon be responsible for 19 percent of global emissions. Some people have even decided never to fly. Over the coming decades, aviation will witness more innovation...
