In this age of the Anthropocene, human power has reached unprecedented proportions. The issue is not just human numbers, but the unprecedented global impacts of our lifestyles and our technologies. We have become the ‘amplified man’, with machine power defining our existence as never before. But the time has come for us to enjoy our freedoms with a new, appropriate sense of responsibility – for those less fortunate than us, for the tens of millions of our fellow living species, and or future generations.
