More than human anthropocene

This essay explains some of the insights about the Anthropocene that I gained working on the Feral Atlas project, which gathers more than a hundred scientists, scholars, artists, and writers, from varied backgrounds, to offer experience-based stories of the anthropogenic earth as they best know it. The Feral Atlas tells the adventures of the nonhuman collaborators with the Anthropocene. Our subjects are living and nonliving beings that—through their entanglement in human imperial and industrial projects—are (in the main) helping to destroy the earth’s livability.
