Can 'planetary civics' save us from techno-catastrophe?
About this episode
The episode explores a positive yet critical perspective on global issues related to technology and climate change.
Most of us are a little anxious these days - and for good reason, as advances in technology and the rising intensity of climate change are set to cause massive upheavals on our planet. But this week we're hearing a 'post-humanist' perspective on global issues that's positive without being blindly optimistic, and critical without giving in to despair.
