Description

Description

Waste by Brian Thill is an exploration of the hidden lives of ordinary things. It considers how objects, including time, are also waste - something that can change with time or circumstance. The book focuses on waste objects that fundamentally shape our lives, such as nuclear waste and climate debris, as well as our emotional and intellectual relationships to our own refuse. This thought-provoking work examines the complicated relationship we have with the world around us. Published in partnership with an essay series in The Atlantic, Waste offers a unique perspective on the ways in which waste shapes our lives and our understanding of ourselves.
