After Nature - A Politics for the AnthropocenePaperback
An Artforum Best Book of the YearA Legal Theory Bookworm Book of the YearNature no longer exists apart from humanity. Geologists have called this new planetary epoch the Anthropocene, the Age of Humans. Henceforth, the world we will inhabit is the one we have made.
Climate change is planetary engineering without design. The geological strata we are now creating record industrial emissions, industrial-scale crop pollens, and the disappearance of species driven to extinction. These facts of the Anthropocene are scientific, but its shape and meaning are questions for politics--a politics that does not yet exist.
After Nature develops a politics for this post-natural world. "After Nature argues that we will deserve the future only because it will be the one we made. We will live, or die, by our mistakes." --Christine Smallwood, Harper's
