Sydney Writers' Festival: Meet the Author Richard King
Sydney Writers’ Festival is coming to your neighbourhood!
As the climate crisis worsens, the ideas that were once fodder for science fiction have become reality. But at what cost?
In his insightful new book Brave New Wild: Can Technology Really Save the Planet? author Richard King illuminates the ways tech giants are altering the natural world, from geoengineering to space mining. He argues that allowing these kinds of approaches to climate change to go unchallenged will risk more than we can afford to lose.
Richard King is an author and critic based in Fremantle/Walyalup, WA, whose work has appeared in The Monthly, Griffith Review, the Sydney Review of Books and Australian Book Review. He is the author of three books, including Here Be Monsters: Is Technology Reducing Our Humanity?
