It was a unique privilege to write this review of Neil's latest book. I can only hope I've done generous scholarship justice.

Late last semester, I wrote a review of @neilselwyn.bsky.social Digital Degrowth for @pdse.bsky.social. It was a slightly daunting task considering how much I respect Neil's work, and I hope I have done it justice. Thanks so much for your generous contributions and scholarship, Neil. rdcu.be/e0nbV
