- All digital services affect people, society and nature, yet we rarely measure how wellbeing changes because of what we create.
- Digital enablement, AI and virtual realities are praised for the problems they solve, while the problems they create are kept from view – and harm hits the already vulnerable hardest.
- A handbook that helps companies and creators manage their responsibility rather than avoid it.
- Supplementary material: the Inclusive Panda and the Impact Flowchart as free PDFs.
- Available in print and as an e-book, in both languages, through Adlibris, Bokus, Apple Books, Storytel, Bookbeat, Nextory and Amazon (Kindle).

Per Axbom offers teams a set of essential questions and concepts to get started on a better path.
A handy, easy-to-read handbook on sustainable digital development for anyone who builds digital services – whether you're a developer or a CDO. Compassion as a competitive advantage, writes Axbom. Brilliant!
A great book with a lot of gold nuggets and great insights. It brings a much-needed heart to the digital design world that sometimes just feels stressful and all about the sales numbers.
Good content, easy to read and straight to the point! Recommended for practically anyone who influences how something is designed.
Lots of small, often razor-sharp reflections that help you question things some of us do out of old habit… Personal takeaway: sometimes friction is good. I think about that too rarely.
