Read [[Digitalization and the Anthropocene]], liked how they look at historical examples of ICT in relation to environment and society, such as cuneiform script in Sumer, accounting and printing in British industrialization.
They say ICTs have always had deep effects on political agency and resource extraction, and now more so than ever with digitalization.
(they call ‘digital’ ICTs what I have always thought of as just ICT, and the widespread deployment of digital ICTs as "digitalization")
