An article in this weekend's NYTimes Magazine covers an ambitious system tracking animals around the globe that harvests data to aid conservation efforts and thwart the spread of disease. This very topic is outlined in greater detail in the fascinating book ANIMAL INTERNET by Alexander Pschera about the dawn of a bestial Brave New World offering a historic opportunity for digital dialogue between humans and nature.

ANIMAL INTERNET author Alexander Pschera was interviewed on Australian radio show Future Tense. ANIMAL INTERNET is an acclaimed book about how the Internet is changing the way we interact with nature on a profound level. A very good show, this one, and a great book. Here's what it has to say: A bestial Brave New World is on the horizon: Some 50,000 creatures around the globe—including whales, leopards, flamingoes, bats and snails—are being equipped with digital tracking devices. The data gathered and studied by major scientific institutes about their behavior will not only aid in conservation efforts and warn us about tsunamis, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, but radically transform our relationship to the natural world. With a broad cultural and historical lens, this book examines human ties with animals, from domestic pets to the soaring popularity of bird watching and kitten images on the Web. Will millennia of exploration soon be reduced to experiencing wilderness via smartphone? Contrary to pessimistic fears, author Alexander Pschera sees the Internet as creating a historic opportunity for a new dialogue between man and nature.

Was ist katholische Literatur?

von Dr. Alexander Pschera

Was ist katholische Literatur?, fragte einmal berechtigter Weise Martin Mosebach. Er kam zu dem Schluß, daß ein Text entweder Literatur ist – oder aber katholisch. Katholische Literatur, das heißt eine solche, die sich dezidiert der Vermittlung von Werten und dem Apostolat verschreibt, unterläuft immer die Ansprüche, die wir an ein gelungenes literarisches Kunstwerk…
