**New Open Access Publication**

Technology and nature are often considered as two opposing phenomena. However, they are increasingly intertwined, for better or worse. This book explores how technology and nature relate to one another in the moral design of new, green technology. It is relevant for IT and engineering professionals, business leaders and policy makers with (green) innovation in their portfolios and students of (applied) science.
