“Was not their mistake once more bred of the life of slavery that they had been living?—a life which was always looking upon everything, except mankind, animate and inanimate—‘nature,’ as people used to call it—as one thing, and mankind as another, it was natural to people thinking in this way, that they should try to make ‘nature’ their slave, since they thought ‘nature’ was something outside them” — William Morris

Scranton, Wark, Wakefield, Pettman on the Anthropocene

Four awesome people talking about the most awe-ful thing of our times...

Wark makes a whole lot of sense on the term itself, which many people freak out to...

We adore Wark and Pettman's work. Pettman is the wittiest theorist I know. Just read his Mistaken identities book or his brilliant 2013 LA Book Review take on Marder which pokes fun at the new materialism. Nietzschean with a sense of humor. The take away coffee cup foreground says it all about the anthropocene whether Crutzen meant that or not.
