How wild is wildlife? Underneath the debates pitching cat lobbyists against bird lovers and badger defenders against cattle farmers lurks another deeper question, namely what wildlife or wild nature should look like.

technologies continue to affect our wellbeing, sharing a similar discourse to that articulated by George M. Beard – the proponent of neurasthenia – a century earlier.
