Description

Molecular Red Theory for the Anthropocene by McKenzie Wark explores our new planetary epoch, where human and natural forces are deeply intertwined. This philosophical work creates tools to help us picture alternative worlds that collective labor might build. Wark draws inspiration from the Soviet experiment, unearthing ideas from Alexander Bogdanov and Andrey Platonov, as well as critiques from Donna Haraway and science fiction writer Kim Stanley Robinson. He salvages these resources to propose an alternative realism, where hope is found in what remains and endures. In this book, Wark offers a radical new critical theory for the 21st century, one that rethinks our relationship with the world and its challenges.
