»Det tog mig år att hitta till kryptoskandalens kärna. Försöket att omvandla en radioaktiv atoll till ett paradis åt kryptomiljonärer är lätt att avfärda. Men det enda som återstår i en värld där krig, den starkes rätt och klimatkrisen rusar fram otyglat, är desperation.«Det har beskrivits som ett kärnvapenkrig i det tysta, ett avskräckande krig för mänsklighetens bästa. När vätebomben Castle Bravo sprängdes över Bikiniatollen 1954 såg vittnen en andra sol stiga på himlen. Vit radioaktiv aska spreds med vinden över öarna och havet. De amerikanska och japanska krigsmakterna drev bort lokalbefolkningen från sina hem, splittrade familjer och samhällen. Öarnas korallkroppar sprängdes till pulver. På resa genom Oceanien berättar Victor Galaz om en region vars folk betalar priset för kolonialism, klimatkris och korrumperade drömmar om kryptoparadis. Historien växer fram bland människorna han möter: i deras protester och rättsprocesser mot globala stormakter, hos de överlevande, de unga studenterna, migranterna och poeterna. Deras värld präglas redan nu av de kriser som är på väg att drabba oss alla.

How Artificial Intelligence, Digitalization and Automation is Changing our Living Planet

This book offers a critical primer on how Artificial Intelligence and digitalization are shaping our planet and the risks posed to society and environmental sustainability.As the pressure of human activities accelerates on Earth, so too does the hope that digital and artificially intelligent technologies will be able to help us deal with dangerous climate and environmental change. Technology giants, international think-tanks and policy-makers are increasingly keen to advance agendas that contribute to “AI for Good” or “AI for the Planet." Dark Machines explores why it is naïve and dangerous to assume converging forces of a growing climate crisis and technological change will act synergistically to the benefit of people and the planet. It explores why AI and associated digital technologies may lead to accelerated discrimination, automated inequality, and augmented diffusion of misinformation, while simultaneously amplifying risks for people and the planet. We face a profound challenge. We can either allow AI accelerate the loss of resilience of people and our planet, or we can decide to act forcefully in ways that redirects its destructive direction.This urgent book will be of interest to students and researchers with an interest in Artificial Intelligence, digitalization and automation, social and political dimensions of science and technology, and sustainability sciences.

We live on an increasingly human-dominated planet. Our impact on the Earth has become so huge that researchers now suggest that it merits its own geological epoch - the 'Anthropocene' - the age of humans. Combining theory development and case studies of 'planetary boundaries', emerging infectious diseases, financial markets and geoengineering, this groundbreaking book explores the 'Anthropocene Gap' otherwise known as society's current failure to address the most profound environmental challenges of our times.What are the political and institutional implications of this new epoch? And what are some novel ways to analyze the complicated interplay between institutions, Earth system complexity and technology? This book offers one of the first explorations of political and institutional dimensions of the Anthropocene concept by providing a novel combination of institutional analysis along with insights from Earth system sciences. It provides an exploration of the role of technology for global environmental governance and defines a new agenda for political science analysis in the Anthropocene.Offering the first summary of the planetary boundaries debate, this cutting edge book will be of great interest to researchers concerned in the interplay between politics, technology, and global environmental change, and those interested in the debate surrounding the Anthropocene and 'planetary boundaries'.Contents: Foreword. The 'Anthropocene Gap' 1. Planetary Terra Incognita 2. Governance and Complexity 3. Earth System Complexity 4. Epidemics and Supernetworks 5. Engineering the Planet 6. Financial Markets, Robots and Ecosystems 7. Bridging the 'Anthropocene Gap' Epilogue: Back to London via the Baltic Sea References Index

Through exploring the application of a complex systems lens on important global challenges, this timely book offers key insights into successful governance in our changing world. It illustrates a number of theoretical and methodological approaches to help understand the role of decision-making, policies, institutions and networks in navigating complexity.Bringing together leading international scholars, Global Challenges, Governance, and Complexity elaborates important features of complex adaptive systems and their connections to key governmental and political issues. These include: complexity leadership, environmental and sustainability challenges, the role of economics, policy-making, legal and social dimensions of systemic risks, and the effectiveness of polycentricity. Chapters look at novel research in the field, highlighting how a diverse range of disciplinary approaches to governance can improve our understanding of complex global challenges.Political science and sustainability science scholars, particularly those with a keen interest in environmental politics and sustainability, will greatly benefit from reading this book. The insights offered will also be of use to policy makers wishing to gain a more thorough understanding of the field.Contributors include: C. Chambers, M. Centeno, M. Cox, A.-S. Crépin, C. Folke, V. Galaz, D. Huitema, A. Jordan, D.M. Katz, R.E. Kim, S.A. Levin, M. Milkoreit, S. Nooteboom, J. Patterson, T. Patterson, B.G. Peters, J. Pierre, R. Preiser, L. Rade, J.B. Ruhl, H. Schmitz, M.
