Adam Greenfield is a renowned urbanist, leading advocate for human-centered design in technological systems, and a prominent skeptic of "smart cities" initiatives. With over twenty years of experience in the technology industry, Greenfield offers a deep understanding of how networked information technologies shape our urban environments.

In his latest book "Lifehouse: Taking Care of Ourselves in a World on Fire," Adam Greenfield confronts the challenges of our time, marked by a continuous onslaught of pandemics, heatwaves, droughts, and climate-driven disasters. Amidst this Long Emergency, Greenfield explores the potential of harnessing tactics and networks of care that emerge during crises to create a cohesive way of life.
