In this episode we'll talk about the book 'From the Bog to the Cloud: Dependency and Eco-Modernity in Ireland' with authors Patrick Bresnihan and Patrick Brodie. The book critiques Ireland's "green" and digital transitions, arguing that tech-driven development, particularly data centers, replicates colonial patterns of dependency and resource extraction, linking historical imperialism to modern techno-capitalism.
The book examines how Ireland's role as a "laboratory" for multinational tech companies creates new forms of exploitation, contrasting this with local resistance and advocating for democratic, anti-imperialist alternatives to current eco-modernist approaches.
We will also discuss how the economic dependence on "big tech" as well as the data center infrastructure undermine Ireland's longheld position of neutrality and undermine its anti-imperialist history, and get into what steps would need to be taken to live up to that legacy.
