On Food: Land- And Cityscapes in Digital Architectonics. a Thought Experiment - Paperback

by David Schildberger (Author), Ludger Hovestadt (Editor), Vera Bühlmann (Editor)

Free thinking, unconstrained by facts

The book is
based on the thesis that we live in a world of abundance, full of
natural riches and cultural artifacts, full of human intellect and
powerful technologies. Our thinking, however, is dominated by the
opposite, the notion of scarcity. The limits of nature act as an
inevitable necessity.

In his book, David Schildberger adopts a
novel approach to the subject of resources, with the help of intelligent
instruments that introduce new foods, such as chocolate made from cocoa
cell cultures, and even a fruit-bearing vine raised far from a
vineyard. With his imagined scenarios, the author invites the reader to
dare stretch their intellectual imaginations and ultimately presents
nature as a contingent.
