Exploring the influence of money and technology on societal and ecological dynamics, the book highlights the troubling outcomes of these relationships. It proposes innovative solutions for redesigning these systems to foster justice and sustainability. Targeted at scholars and advanced students, it intersects various fields including environmental studies, economics, archaeology, and social theory, making it a comprehensive resource for understanding and addressing contemporary challenges.

The book explores the concept that technology acts as counterfeit organisms, creating an illusion of replacing human capabilities. It argues that machines do not truly substitute human bodies; rather, they serve to shift workloads and environmental impacts out of our immediate awareness. Through this lens, the author challenges readers to reconsider the role of technology in our lives and its implications for human labor and ecological sustainability.
