About the Book

Grappling with the consequences of wiring ourworld, Program Earth examines how sensor technologies are programmingour environments. Jennifer Gabrys suggests that the sensor-based monitoring ofEarth offers the prospect of making new environments not simply as an extensionof the human but rather as new "technogeographies" that connect technology,nature, and people.

Review :
"Jennifer Gabrys deftly synthesizes fields and lines of inquiry in weaving a signature story of our age, working across intellectual planes and variegated systems and networks. Program Earth is a tantalizing account of digital, citizen-sensing worlds in the making."-Kevin McHugh, Arizona State University "Impressive and original, Program Earth is not just concerned with the collection and dissemination of data, but also-and more crucially-with the transformation of these data and with their effects."-Steven Shaviro, author of The Universe of Things: On Speculative Realism "Full of stimulating ideas and provocative reframings of environmental concerns that are sure to spark further research."-American Journal of Sociology  "Readers will revel in extensively written case studies as well as the contemplative opportunity to challenge, with renewed conceptual tools, the urgent notion of the environment."-Cultural Geographies "Jennifer Gabrys' book is a timely publication that combines empirical insights with a necessary speculative attitude in an emerging field."-Tecnosciencza "This sociological treatise is a valuable contribution for historians of technology... Program Earth succeeds in raising multiple epistemological and political issues intertwining sensing technologies, infrastructures, democracy, and power."-Technology and Culture
