Christoph Becker<p>Lovely to see my book INSOLVENT "Highly recommended" as 'a rich discussion of the many alternative perspectives and intellectual practices currently shaping computing' for "all readership levels". <a href="https://hci.social/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>books</span></a> <a href="https://hci.social/tags/InsolventBook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>InsolventBook</span></a> <a href="https://hci.social/tags/computing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>computing</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://www.choice360.org/choice-pick/editors-picks-for-january-2024/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">choice360.org/choice-pick/edit</span><span class="invisible">ors-picks-for-january-2024/</span></a></p>

Now that <a href="https://hci.social/tags/InsolventBook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>InsolventBook</span></a> is out it's high time for an update :)</p>
Christoph Becker<p>The paper emphasizes that "To decide the solution is to decide the stakes". In <a href="https://hci.social/tags/InsolventBook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>InsolventBook</span></a>, I argue that the stakes are often decided even before: in the articulation of the problem to be solved. <a href="https://hci.social/tags/solutionism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>solutionism</span></a> relies on <a href="https://hci.social/tags/problemism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>problemism</span></a> even without solutions. <a href="https://doi.org/10.7551/mitpress/14668.003.0009" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">doi.org/10.7551/mitpress/14668</span><span class="invisible">.003.0009</span></a></p>

Christoph Becker<p>I had the best time today speaking to a group of students in Sweden about “computing in times of extinction” (what a great course title!), their thoughts on <a href="https://hci.social/tags/InsolventBook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>InsolventBook</span></a> and what we can do next. If you’re teaching classes like that and are reading Insolvent, I’m more than happy to zoom in! <a href="https://hci.social/tags/ClimateAction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateAction</span></a></p>

It is insolvent: unable to pay the debts owed to the planet and its societies.
