degrowth by providing a pdf lol, what an odd publishing house
degrowth does not equal technological regression
in some cases it technically does. if we shut down every single AI data center as we should, the industrialists would call that a Luddite primitivist counter-revolution.
I don't necessarily agree that we need to stop printing books but if all the industrial printing presses were erased from existence, we wouldn't lose much. the knowledge of printing wouldn't go away but we'd "regress" to a state where you can't treat books as a commodity anymore. you either pirate the PDF from your comrades or ask one of them to print a copy at your local DIY space.
I think we're just conceptualizing "technological regression" differently.
They are a worker-run co-op that publishes radical books. What exactly do you find odd about that?
There weren't pdf's available in the website, that's all, I laughed at a book called 'degrowth manifesto' but I have to buy a physical copy and have it shipped to my house internationally? It's nonsense
AK Press isn’t the publisher of the book, which is available as an ebook from Astra Press. AK does sell DRM-free ebooks of all the titles they publish, though.
