The term “planetary turn” was coined in 2015 to describe a significant and ongoing shift in the relationship between humans and the Earth, which has been unfolding since the late 20th century. Despite its profound significance, this transformative process lacks a comprehensive theoretical framework, necessitating the development of a new perspective. The planetary turn has brought about substantial changes in our connection with the Earth, particularly in terms of our existence and our efforts to understand it from a planetary standpoint. Addressing the challenges posed by planetary issues requires a distinct mode of thinking. This article begins by offering a concise explanation of the concept of the “planetary turn,” followed by an exploration of a significant consequence of this shift: a profound transformation in the human condition. Additionally, an argument is presented, asserting that this transformation unfolds within the crucial context of liminality characterizing the Anthropocene era. The final section delves into Chakrabarty’s ideas on the development of planetary thinking that can provide guidance as we navigate the transition from the Anthropocene to the post-Anthropocene era, aiming to surpass the current state of liminality in the human condition.

This study delves into the complex connection between digital technologies and environmental sustainability in the face of the worsening climate crisis. It presents two different stories: one praises digitalization for its improved efficiency and less waste, while the other cautions about the environmental impact of energy-consuming data centres and growing electronic waste. As temperatures increase worldwide, the need for immediate action becomes more pressing. Despite being seen as abstract, digital technologies depend greatly on physical infrastructures, which have a substantial impact on the environment. Thinkers such as Guillaume Pitron, Kate Crawford, and Benedetta Brevini question the positive perceptions of technology by exposing how misinformation conceals its impact on the environment. The paper underscores the importance of informed public discussion and working together to tackle the environmental challenges of digitalization, highlighting the significance of evaluating the ecological effects of digital technologies for a truly sustainable tomorrow.
