"If warming reaches 2C this century mainly richer humans will be responsible for killing roughly 1 billion poorer humans through anthropogenic global warming ..." (Pearce and Parncutt, 2023). Here's a song about climate mortality and power inequality for COP30 and beyond.

Non-fiction books don’t usually spawn songs. But following my own ballad, “Standing up for being human”, songwriter/producer John Hamilton has penned this infectiously catchy, quirky pop song, inspired by The Age of Humachines. Well worth a listen, Elvis connection and all!

How can we counter rampaging Big Tech capitalism and the undemocratic politics and psychology driving it and move towards a genuinely liberating, ”eco-equal” future? This brilliant podcast tries to find the answers.

A decade of climate betrayal?
Ahead of November's crucial COP 30 in Belém, Brazil, here are some personal reflections in song of the ten years since the Paris accord and the album of climate songs I released at that time.

Check out my interview with Michael Bayliss on the Post-Growth Australia Podcast. We discuss Big Tech's humachination agenda, the dangers of unregulated AI & robotics, the perils of Smartheid surveillance and the incomparably better future degrowth society can offer.

A new A/cene song!

We’re living in the Anthropocene,
On a beautiful planet in crisis.
Everywhere you go you see extremes,
Everywhere you go you hear the screams,
Red lights flashing on every screen
But we can do better than this.
We’ve got to be better than this.

For crucial insights into the psychology of AI, humachination and the mass job automation and roboticization planned by Big Tech please check out my conversation with Professor Mick Cooper. We urgently need to wake up to the threat of ontocapitalism before it's too late!

Make something with a sharper mind than you
And expect to end up living in a zoo.
And why would we need a digital God?
Democracy can do that job.

I really recommend reading The Age of Humachines by @michaeldbharvey.bsky.social

I'm delighted that the North American edition of The Age of Humachines is now out and that the book has just received a much-sought-after Kirkus starred review! 😀https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/michael-db-harvey/the-age-of-humachines-big-tech-and-the-battle-for-humanitys-future/

As we face a Trumped-up AI revolution, increasing climate inaction, wars, exploitation and countless other inequality-multipliers, isn't it time that we asked ourselves what do we really want as a species? That, I guess, is what I was trying to get at in this song.

The AI Resistance movement will continue to gather strength once Trump unleashes a Big Tech deregulatory frenzy, empowering Musk and other ontocapitalists to automate everything and everyone. For more, check out my podcast interview. www.youtube.com/watch?v=LdEd...

Out now in the US, my article on why Musk's support for Trump could mark the onset of a catastrophic new phase in the age of humachines.

Green growth proponents continue to produce flawed graphs that claim to show the decoupling of emissions from economic growth. These graphs are repeatedly critiqued, but the critiques are ignored, leading to a cycle of misleading representations.

My book on the technological revolution now affecting every aspect of being human on planet Earth is now out! Reviewers have called it "informative, provocative and inspiring" and "an amazing tour-de-force across science, technology, psychology, political economy and ecology". ft.co/dSO3jySubY

I really believe that "ecomodernist" is a misnomer. This school of thought is not distinguished by their embrace of technology (degrowth research also embraces technology). It is distinguished by their insistence on perpetual growth, ever-increasing aggregate output. That's it.
