In more recent years, however, activists, researchers, and policymakers have increasingly turned to mobilizing older technologies in their pursuit of sustainability. In fascinating case studies ranging from the Early Modern secondhand trade to utopian visions of human-powered vehicles, the contributions gathered here explore the historical fortunes of two such technologies—bicycling and waste recycling—tracing their development over time and providing valuable context for the policy successes and failures of today.Environment in history ;v. 7.CyclingHistoryCyclingEnvironmental aspectsRecycling (Waste, etc.)HistoryRecycling (Waste, etc.)Environmental aspectsSustainabilityactivists.bicycling and waste recycling.context for policy today.exploration of bicycling.exploration of waste recycling.historical.mobilizing older technologies.policymakers.public discussions of environment.pursuit of sustainability.researchers.tracing development.CyclingHistory.CyclingEnvironmental aspects.Recycling (Waste, etc.)History.Recycling (Waste, etc.)Environmental aspects.Sustainability.363.72/8209ZO 4340rvkOldenziel Ruth1958-Trischler HelmuthMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910797918003321Cycling and recycling3837013UNINA03465nam 22006375 450 991048335350332120251202141502.03-030-62330-010.1007/978-3-030-62330-2(CKB)4100000011751987(DE-He213)978-3-030-62330-2(MiAaPQ)EBC6476032(PPN)253861616(EXLCZ)99410000001175198720210208d2021 u| 0engurnn|008mamaatxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierNext Civilization Digital Democracy and Socio-Ecological Finance - How to Avoid Dystopia and Upgrade Society by Digital Means /by Dirk Helbing2nd ed. 2021.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Springer,2021.1 online resource (XXIV, 325 p. 43 illus., 40 illus. in color.) 3-030-62329-7 Preface -- The Digital Society -- Complexity Time Bomb -- Social Forces -- Google as God -- Genie out of the Bottle -- Digitally-assisted Self-organization -- How Society works -- Networked Minds -- Economy 4.0 -- The Self-organizing Society -- Digital Democracy and Democratic Capitalism -- The Future of Human Society."Digital transformation" sounds harmless, given that the explosion in data volumes, processing power and Artificial Intelligence has driven humanity and the entire world to a point of no return. We will surely see a new civilization, but we are at a crossroads. The future needs to be re-invented, decisions must be taken. After the automation of factories and the creation of self-driving cars, the automation of society is on its way. But there are two kinds of automation: a centralized top-down control of the world and a distributed control approach, supporting local self-organization. Using the power of today’s information systems, governments and big tech companies seem to engage in the first approach. Might they even build a „digital Crystal Ball“ that knows almost everything, including your personality, and a super-intelligent "digital God“ to control what we do? We are much closer to such „science fiction scenarios“ than you probably think. In this much expanded second edition of "The Automation of Society is Next: How to Survive the Digital Revolution" (2015), the author discusses lessons learned on digital democracy, aspects of transhumanism and far-reaching thoughts about life in the digital age and what it may mean to be human in the future.System theoryEconomic developmentSocial sciencesDigital humanitiesBiotechnologyComplex SystemsDevelopment StudiesSocietyDigital HumanitiesBiotechnologySystem theory.Economic development.Social sciences.Digital humanities.Biotechnology.Complex Systems.Development Studies.Society.Digital Humanities.Biotechnology.303.483Helbing Dirk521591MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910483353503321Next civilization2597988UNINA
