Despite being written in 2009, this book is full of nuggets of insight about the current situation in 2024. Stewart brand is a brilliant writer and it is nice to see him keep on trucking.
It is a brilliant follow-up to the days of the Whole Earth catalogs and the Co-evolution and Whole Earth Review magazines.

ダブルポイント 詳細
An icon of the environmental movement outlines a provocative approach for reclaiming our planet
According to Stewart Brand, a lifelong environmentalist who sees everything in terms of solvable design problems, three profound transformations are under way on Earth right now. Climate change is real and is pushing us toward managing the planet as a whole. Urbanization?half the world?s population now lives in cities, and eighty percent will by midcentury?is altering humanity?s land impact and wealth. And biotechnology is becoming the world?s dominant engineering tool. In light of these changes, Brand suggests that environmentalists are going to have to reverse some longheld opinions and embrace tools that they have traditionally distrusted. Only a radical rethinking of traditional green pieties will allow us to forestall the cataclysmic deterioration of the earth?s resources.
Whole Earth Discipline shatters a number of myths and presents counterintuitive observations on why cities are actually greener than countryside, how nuclear power is the future of energy, and why genetic engineering is the key to crop and land management. With a combination of scientific rigor and passionate advocacy, Brand shows us exactly where the sources of our dilemmas lie and offers a bold and inventive set of policies and solutions for creating a more sustainable society.
In the end, says Brand, the environmental movement must become newly responsive to fast-moving science and take up the tools and discipline of engineering. We have to learn how to manage the planet?s global-scale natural infrastructure with as light a touch as possible and as much intervention as necessary.

Una visión real del planeta
2019年9月23日にスペインでレビュー済みAmazonで購入
Aunque se publicó en 2009, la filosofía de Brand resulta totalmente actual. Su visión global es envidiable, pues tiene conocimiento de primera mano de un montón de procesos creativos, científicos, industriales..., que se está desarrollando a múltiples niveles. En la mayoría de los casos, su información viene de su relación personal con los protagonistas. Para el lector, es una fuente constante de descubrimientos. Aunque el autor es básicamente optimista, no puede concretar a dónde irá apuntando el futuro, pero la lectura de este libro te aporta muchas claves. Lástima que no esté traducido al castellano.

One of the best books I have read in years: Cover to cover immediately.
I am not d'accord with Stewart in any aspect of his opinionated upgrade for my world view, BUT that does not matter. Very well written, Many hints to very good further reading. Caused a big ditch in my Book Etat.
I feel the weakest chapter is that about Genetic Engineering. He is Biologist and is so sure about it that he is not a thorough and convincing in his argument as he is in other chapters. The second weak point is the nuclear chapter. He comes to the right conclusion IMO but he is far from being as convincing as other books I have read concerning the replacement of coal burning in the light of Climate Chance or Change.
