Recensioni

Come funziona davvero il mondo: energia, cibo,… di Vaclav Smil

La rivoluzione informatica e l'avvento dell'AI rischiano di farci dimenticare la materialità della società contemporanea. Discutendo di energia, ammoniaca, cemento, plastica ed acciaio Smil ci riporta prepotentemente con i piedi per terra: per costruire un futuro sostenibile occorre avere chiaro lo stato delle condizioni esitenti e con questo libro di alta divulgazione offre una serie impressionante di dati e di studi per orientarci con più sicuro realismo nel mondo di oggi.
