Against nature: the metaphysics of information systems

This work questions the nature of the business and social information systems so ubiquitous in contemporary life.

Linking positivism, individualism, and market-fundamentalist economics at the root of these systems, it critiques the philosophical ground of this triumvirate as fundamentally against nature.

Connecting counter-philosophies of the subject as a natural part of existence, with a more collectivist and ecological economics, it presents a historical critique of the development of the academic field of information systems, and offers a complex view of the nature of nature through which we might reshape our approach to technology and to our economies to overcome the existential threat of climate change.
