Abstract
An Interview with David Kreps: Author of Against Nature: The Metaphysics of Information Systems by Kyle Wiggins. In this interview, Kyle Wiggins speaks to David Kreps about his new book, Against Nature: The Metaphysics of Information Systems (Routledge, 2018), which explores the ways that positivism, neo-liberal market economics, and information systems warp human understanding of the natural world. Kreps offers an alternative philosophy of green technology that better meets the imminent dangers of climate change. The book is measured, engaging, and issues timely suggestions on how digital innovation might counter ecological catastrophe.
