"The collective work that produced this book is based on the claim that
today’s destructive development model is reaching its ultimate limits,
and that its toxicity, which is increasingly massive, manifest and
multidimensional (medical, environmental, mental, epistemological,
economic – accumulating pockets of insolvency, which become veritable
oceans), is generated above all by the fact that the current industrial
economy is based in every sector on an obsolete physical model – a
mechanism that ignores the constraints of locality in biology and the
entropic tendency in reticulated computational information. In these
gravely perilous times, we must bifurcate: there is no alternative."
