      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.

      A best-seller in France, this English language edition introduces readers to an alternative perspective on our technological future. Bihouix skilfully goes against the grain to argue that 'high' technology will not solve global problems and envisages a different approach to manage our resources and build a more resilient and sustainable society.
