We were told that the internet would dematerialize society and decrease energy use. Contrary to this projection, it has become a massive infrastructure and a rapidly growing energy consumer. In this series of articles, Low-tech Magazine examines the reasons behind the ever-expanding resource use of digital communication and what we can do about it. The internet isn't an autonomous being. Its growing energy use results from decisions made by software developers, web designers, marketeers, publishers, and internet users. By placing communications in a historical context and with the development of its lightweight, off-the-grid, and solar powered website, Low-tech Magazine challenges our high-tech approach to sustainability and highlights the possibilities of alternative solutions. Table of contents: 1. Why we need a speed limit for the internet2. Email in the 18th century: the optical telegraph3. How to build a low-tech internet?4. How to build a low-tech website?5. How sustainable is a solar powered website?6. How and why I stopped buying laptops7. Why the office needs a typewriter revolutionThis book contains 70 images in black & white.

Attached: 1 image Astoundingly good book from @edyong209@mastodon.xyz - I really savoured this one. the title #AnImmenseWorld is not wrong - I wondered as I started it just how much you can write about how animals sense the world. It turns out you can write a lot and every single page glimmers with wonder, delight, new insights and knife sharp writing. I enjoyed his previous book very much too, but this is book of the year if not book of the decade territory. Simply superb. #summerReadingChallenge
