Opis

Capitalism’s recent crisis revealed how it still generates collapse, reviving the search for a better future. This book argues for an alternative set of values, some suggested by computing practices. Neither hyping computing nor attempting to sterilely designing a Utopia, it outlines a set of values for the future.
