<p>Starting the book by asking the readers to ponder a thin line between “A green brave world” and “A green panopticon,” Mark Coeckelbergh’s <i>Green Leviathan or the Poetics of Political Liberty</i> explores the paths of political thinking’s evolution in response to current technological and environmental challenges, highlighting the overlooked deep connection between traditional philosophical notions of political freedom and the threats of authoritarianism and hidden manipulation amid our urgent ecological challenges. This review examines how the book offers a philosophical orientation for navigating the delicate balance between security and liberty, proposing a “third way” that promotes a relational, capabilities-focused, and positive understanding of freedom. It advocates for the integration of AI and other technologies into a larger “poetic-political project of liberation and democratization,” seeking to construct new common worlds that support both human and non-human flourishing. This vision emphasizes that freedom should be associated with human dignity and the genuine conditions necessary for prosperity, extending beyond individuals to include non-humans, animals, climate, viruses, and indeed AI. The vision presented in the book contributes to the enriching of our growing understanding of the human–technology–nature&#xa0;nexus, as it bridges political philosophy with environmental ethics and technological ethics through the concept of freedom.</p>
