What technologies do we need to solve the complex environmental, economic, social, and political challenges facing us today? As this thought-provoking book reveals, one tool for enacting change is already at our fingertips: the global network. Consider the private domains of companies, governments, and institutions along with the public Internet: we have an immense communications network that connects billions of people in ways we never thought possible. In this book, author Sarah Sorensen clearly demonstrates why this network is the best sustainable technology available to help us tackle a wide range of problems. If each of us represents a node on this network, then it's time we realize the potential we hold. The Sustainable Network is a call to action, urging individuals, governments, markets, and organizations to put the power of this network to good use.

Understand how this network magnifies the impact of even the smallest change and newest idea
Explore the role that various market and political forces play

A very good book about a serious topic. This is a book you can give your friends and family to let them know that what you are doing in this whole high-tech rat race is more than a rat race, it actually has the potential to make a difference.
