Dublin book launch of Gerry McGovern's 99th Day: A Warning About Technology to take place at Books Upstairs next week

The Dublin launch of 99th Day: A Warning About Technology – the eagerly awaited new book from Irish author and Hot Press columnist Gerry McGovern – is set to take place at Books Upstairs on D'Olier Street this Monday, February 9, from 6–8pm.

Already being hailed as an "essential book", 99th Day: A Warning About Technology – published by Dagda – takes an in-depth look into the dire state of our planet, with our current consumerist habits, the great lying machine of Big Tech and the huge damage inflicted by mining all coming under the microscope.

The book launch event will feature readings and discussion with Gerry McGovern (author), Niall Stokes (Editor, Hot Press), Jacintha (Abhainn an Olifhia), and Catherine Banks (Cróí na Chré), as well as live performances from  Áine Tyrrell

“It has been deeply disturbing, over the past year, to see how aggressively the Trump administration in the US has abandoned any pretence at caring about the future of the planet,” Hot Press editor Niall Stokes says of the book. “In fact, they have made it absolutely clear that their only interest is in amassing every single dirty dollar that can be extracted from our natural resources – and damn the consequences. And of course they are not alone in their cynical disregard for anything other than making more money for the oligarch class.

"If you want to know where all of this is heading, 99 Days: A Warning About Technology makes powerful and essential reading. In it Gerry McGovern forensically sets out the horrendous hidden costs of – and the exponential damage being inflicted by – the tech billionaires, the AI messiahs, the mining conglomerates and the blood-sucking alpha males who are driving the Gadarene rush towards climate catastrophe. 99 Days: A Warning About Technology is packed with shocking information, startling revelations and gripping insights into the utterly unscrupulous nature of contemporary profiteering – at our collective expense. Ignore it at your peril."
