Description
The Planet After Geoengineering is a graphic novel that explores the possibilities and controversies surrounding climate modification technologies. It presents five speculative fictions that imagine different worlds resulting from geoengineering interventions.
Through these stories, which range from deep underground to outer space, the book examines the potential consequences of intervening in Earth's systems to counteract the effects of climate change. By situating these visions within a history of climate-control projects, The Planet After Geoengineering opens up new possibilities for design and planetary management.
Complementing DESIGN EARTH's eponymous project at the Venice Biennale of Architecture, this book features essays by Kathryn Yusoff, Benjamin Bratton and Holly Jean Buck. It is a thought-provoking exploration of the complex relationships between technology, design, and our planet's future.
