The book explores the limitations of relying solely on advanced technologies and green innovations to address the environmental crisis. It argues that the increasing complexity of these solutions often depends on scarce materials, which poses a significant risk. The discussion highlights the need for a more sustainable approach that considers the availability of resources and the potential consequences of over-relying on smart systems.
