Technology should never be considered as an ultimatum, that just because we can do something, we should. Even Winston Churchill who was fascinated by and obsessed with science and technology once famously said that it should be 'on tap, but not on top'. Simon Trace issues a comprehensive invitation to rethink what we ask of technology. Public debate is full of reports hypnotised by technological novelty and innovation for its own sake. But Trace reveals how low-tech solutions can often outperform high-tech ones -- delivering multiple benefits to the people who need them most. Rethink, Retool, Reboot says it is time to move on, and critically assess each technology - whether it is the product of a small farmers workshop or a giant corporation's laboratory - to find what will really help us all thrive within planetary boundaries., If ever there was a time to re-think the role of technology, this has to be it. With a renewed emphasis on the Sustainable Development Goals and on climate change, technology is at the heart of all our hopes and many of our fears for the future. Covering all today's 'big issues', Simon Trace provides a fresh and eloquent approach to innovation, governance issues and access to technology, compellingly brought together through this rallying call for Technology Justice., Technology is the great enabler, but uncontrolled use of technology can also pose a threat to humanity, as our experience of fossil fuels and climate change demonstrates. This book explores two crises -- why so many people in the world are still without access to technologies necessary for even the most basic standard of living, and why the bulk of technology innovation fails not only to address their needs, but also the threat of environmental change that hangs over us all. A compelling argument for a change to the way we govern the development and use of technology and a recommended read for anyone interested in technology and justice., Amidst the frenzy of global interest in digitization and robotization, this book brings the focus of technology back to where it is most needed: for empowering the world's poorest communities. Simon Trace's concept of Technology Justice is fresh, powerful and much needed., "This is an important book with an important message at a perfect time as the international development community struggles to get to grips with technology and innovation. Many of the answers to many of the development challenges are already out there, yet in our drive to showcase our innovative thinking we often turn our backs on them in favour of more complex, "smarter", "innovative" solutions. Yet it is often the simpler ones that work best. "It is time", as Simon reminds us, "to reboot our relationship with technology". We need a people-first and problem-first approach at a time when many are technology-first. This book makes a hugely valuable contribution to the debate, and should be essential reading for technologists and policy makers alike.", Simon Trace takes his inspiration from Schumacher's Small is Beautiful but extends the metaphor of magnitude. Through careful use of data, case study and analysis he argues that scale is not in itself beautiful, but is the key to sustainability and impact. In reflecting on scale, on how small an intervention needs to be or how large it can conceivably be, Trace gets to the heart of technological innovation for development: it's all about perspective. Trace shows us that if technology justice is about one thing it's about bringing together perspectives that matter -- historical, contextual, technological, public, private and communal -- to shape scalable, sustainable innovation. Trace's book is in some respects a 21st century reboot of Schumacher's work and a hugely important contribution to our thinking around technology for development., Technology is always about politics and social justice: who wins, who loses, and what directions are chosen. This book puts these themes centre-stage in a clear and accessible style. Anyone interested in how technology can work for people, justice, sustainability and development should read it.
