Abstract

"This text combines the review I wrote two years ago of Tomlinson’s Greening through IT with the review of Robert Rattle’s Computing Our Way to Paradise?. These two books have quite different start points, while Tomlinson’s have a generally positive view of how ICT can help sustainability, Rattle reminds us of the problems with efficiency and rebound effects. This review analyses both vis-a-vis from the context of IC4D."
