Jennifer Gabrys on “The Internet of Things and the rise of planetary computerization”

Jennifer Gabrys, Goldsmiths College, writes about her upcoming book Program Earth:

Planetary computerization—and the making of a computational planet—are terms and concepts that now occupy considerable attention in media studies and environmental theory and practice.

In Program Earth, I take up considerations about the planetary and its environments by addressing the rise of ubiquitous environmental computing. In current imaginings of ubiquitous environmental sensing, technology companies often put forward a vision of the Earth as brimming with sensors, where every environmental process and activity will be monitored for ideal performance and responsiveness.
