Introduction. Between Digital, Socioeconomic, and Environmental Poverty

Beginning with the deconstruction of the concept of poverty, this book explores themes at the intersection of resilience, environmental threats, prosperity, and innovation to demonstrate how digital poverty is connected not only to socioeconomic inequalities but also to environmental poverty. The rapid digital acceleration that has characterized contemporary society in recent decades, notably accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, has profoundly reshaped societal structures and dynamics (Amankwah-Amoah et al., 2021; Anandan et al., 2022). It is particularly urgent for both scholars and policymakers to explore the repercussions of digital evolution on social inequalities and the evolving, nuanced nature of poverty in this digital age. To analyze and understand the complexity of digital poverty, there is a need to rethink the concept holistically by considering the intersecting nature of digital, socioeconomic, and environmental poverty.
