The climate catastrophe is imminent and global injustice is rising. Now a lot of new (in part digital) tech (AI, blockchain, big data, fusion, quantum computing, genetic engineering) is supposed to help the transition to a sustainable society. Although some of them can actually help with parts of the transition, they are usually discussed not as tools to assist the broader societal change (economic, legal, social, political changes) but as replacement for the broader societal change. In effect they act as "change placebos" resulting in "placebo change", meaning no change at all.
