- Finite Media is the culmination of primary research started in 2002 intensifying through the 2010s into energy sources, production and transmission, and the life cycle of digital technologies form raw materials and fabrication to end-of-life disposal, including extensive work on regulation and governance of digital and material flows, using policy and corporate archives and investigative journalism. The primary research also required extensive work on supply chain logistics, precarious labour, the economics of externalities and developing a new ecocritical vocabulary. Approximately 90,000 words plus 35 pages of references.
