Abstract

As physicist and Earth System scientist Axel Kleidon argues, the future evolution of humans and their technosphere is not a random, unpredictable outcome. Rather, the technosphere might represent the thermodynamic imperative of advancing the Earth system to higher levels of activity with greater energy conversion. Could it be said that with the development of the technosphere, the Earth is currently undergoing a shift to a state of greater activity?
