Connecting the Bits with the Beats to shape a bright future
summary
Claims a causal link between personal biofeedback and civic action while showing concrete prototypes: Project Farm uses open data, satellite imagery and algorithms to give soil/seed/fertiliser prescriptions to smallholder farmers; a consumer smart toilet runs a urine lab, stream‑ID and promises personalized medicine via 3D printing; a condensation glacier prototype produces 1–2,000 L/day; a Smoke‑Free Tower captures particulates and turns them into sellable diamonds. Cites population and food statistics (200% more crops since 1960, need +30% food by 2035) and stresses testers’ role in asking hard questions.
