"So, wherever we turn, there is the same nagging paradox: on the one hand, the continuous development of new techno-scientific means to potentially resolve the dominant ecological issues and reinstate socially useful activities on the surface of the planet, and, on the other hand, the inability of our social forces and constituted objective formations to take hold of these resources in order to make them work."

Félix Guattari, The Three Ecologies (1989)
