IMBY | the book

In My Back Yard (IMBY) is an investigation into reshaping nature. Why do we people want to control our environment in all kinds of ways? How far are we going to manipulate and control, cultivate and tame the world around us?

Science and technology have brought us prosperity and a preoccupation with everything that is measurable and predictable. But with the disenchantment of the world, a new desire has arisen. A longing for marvel, serendipity and a logic that is not unambiguous.

In My Back Yard is a search for that wonder.
