“Tecnoscienza: Italian Journal of Science & Technology Studies” has published an English-language book review by Dr. Robert Williams, senior lecturer in the Department of Philosophy at The University of Akron, of “La Servitude Electrique: Du reve de liberte a la prison numerique” by French scholars Gerard Dubey and Alain Gras.
Informed by a philosophical anthropology of science and technology studies, this review queries the authors’ thesis that although electricity appears innocent, especially as light, power and information, it nonetheless relies on fossil fuels for its generation.
Best regards,
Robert Williams, Ph.D.
