<p>‘Kreps brilliantly demonstrates how strongly IS (information systems) research has been and still is influenced by a positivist view of the world … Instead, Kreps proposes to borrow from Bergson’s and Whitehead’s process-relational philosophy, from moral philosophy and from complexity theory, to claim that the libertarian argument for the neoliberal digital capitalist society runs counter to the reality of the natural world of which we are a part.’ <i>– Frantz Rowe, European Journal of Information Systems</i></p><p>‘Drawing inspiration from the sensitive experience of our social existence and from a more inclusive and ecological conception of the economy, this book presents a historical critique of the development of the academic field of information systems and offers an analytical perspective on our relationship with nature from which we could rethink the question of technology to overcome the threat that climate change poses to our biosphere.’ <em>– Dominique Desbois, Terminal</em></p>
