A survey of the key thinkers and ideas that are rebuilding the world in the shadow of the Anthropocene

As
we face the compounded crises of late capitalism, environmental
catastrophe and technological transformation, who are the thinkers and
the ideas who will allow us to understand the world we live in? McKenzie
Wark surveys three areas at the cutting edge of current critical
thinking: media ecologies, post-colonial ethnographies, and the design
of technology, and introduces us to the thinking of seventeen major
writers who, combined, contribute to the common task of knowing the
world. Each chapter is a concise account of an individual thinker,
providing useful context and connections to the work of the others.
The authors include: Sianne Ngai, Kodwo Eshun, Lisa Nakamura, Hito
Steyerl, Yves Citton, Randy Martin, Jackie Wang, Wang Hui, Anna
Lowenhaupt Tsing, Achille Mbembe, Eyal Weizman, Cory Doctorow, Benjamin
Bratton, Tiziana Terranova, Keller Easterling, Jussi Parikka, Deborah
Danowich and Eduardo Viveiros de Castro
Wark argues that we are too often told that expertise is obtained by specialisation. Sensoria
connects the themes and arguments across intellectual silos. The book
is a vital and timely introduction to the future both as a warning but
also as a roadmap for how we might find our way out of the current
crisis.
