SUMMARY:Author and Activist Gerry McGovern discusses his latest book\, 99th Day: A Warning About Technology
DESCRIPTION:Our current ways of life are unsustainable\, and we–and generations after us–are already living with the consequences\, in spite of decades of warnings. Gerry McGovern’s new book\, 99th Day: A Warning About Technology\, examines how we got here as well as what we can do for future generations. In his words\, “we must protect and resist”. \nCollapse is coming. Driven by AI\, data centers\, bitcoin\, greed. All the devouring mining\, the relentless toxic waste. And ‘great’ men’s fragile egos and insatiable need to dominate. What will we leave those who must come after us? How did we get here? \n“The timing is perfect: just as the public is waking up to the human and environmental toll of big tech and its ballooning infrastructure\, along comes this book. In 99th Day: A Warning About Technology\, journalist Gerry McGovern takes us around the globe—from Ireland to Spain to Brazil and West Africa and beyond—to share stories of those whose lives have been upended by mining\, chemical dumping\, and corporate land grabs. Deeply researched and written with heart\, 99th Day is essential reading as we grapple with what a “green transition” really means.”\nJudith Schwartz\, author of The Reindeer Chronicles \nThis event is free. \nAbout Gerry McGovern \nGerry McGovern has spent most of his career focused on reducing data waste\, particularly with his method Top Tasks. He has published nine books. His upcoming one\, 99th Day: A Warning About Technology\, deals with a rapidly oncoming environmental and civilizational collapse driven by the excesses and wastes of our abusive technological society\, and particularly by white male supremacy culture. His 2020 book\, World Wide Waste: How digital is killing the planet and what to do about it\, focused on reducing digital waste. His new book\, 99th Day: A Warning About Technology\, will be published in February 2026.
