Jean-Baptiste Fressoz: More and More and More

Jean-Baptiste Fressoz in Think Corner, 4th of June, 13:00—15:00

The renowned historian of science and technology Jean-Baptiste Fressoz (CNRS, Paris) will be delivering a public lecture at Think Corner (Tiedekulma, Yliopistonkatu 4) on the main theses of his international bestseller, More and More and More: An All-Consuming History of Energy (2024, Allen Lane). The event will take place on the 4th of June, 13:00—15:00.

The critically acclaimed book has been credited with transforming received wisdom on energy transitions and their histories. Fressoz shows how the history of energy is not a story of subsequent transitions, but of constant additions and deepening symbioses.
