Overview: Since early 1989, a gem dealer I‘ve known for years has been calling me every few weeks to brief me on mounting mayhem in Colombia‘s lucrative emerald market. The troubling gist of these calls is always this: There is a full-fledged turf war going on between that South American country‘s bustling drug and gem trades for control of its emerald ex­ port business. According to this dealer and several others, anywhere from two to four thousand emerald industry people, mostly miners and deal­ ers, have been murdered since 1980. No doubt the gem sector, itself never gun shy, has retaliated

Overview: .This book argues that we are living in an era of deep mutation, and the anthropocentric model no longer fits our way of living and behaving on Earth. Climate change is upsetting our relationship with nature and the environment, while artificial intelligence scenarios undermine the foundations of human life. As the pressure to re-align based on new modes of living and consuming increases, the first priority should be to address the way we imagine, design, produce and construct our built environment..The highly original book explores how the relation between design technology and mate
