A critique of the discourse on the Anthropocene and the creative alternatives to it to be found through the arts, sciences, and humanities.Addressing the current upswing of attention in the sciences, arts, and humanities to the new proposal that we are in a humandriven epoch called the Anthropocene, this book critically surveys that thesis and points to its limitations. It analyzes contemporary visual culturepopular science websites, remote sensing and SatNav imagery, ecoactivist mobilizations, and experimental artistic projectsto consider how the term proposes more than merely a description of objective geological periodization. This book argues that the Anthropocene terminology works ideologically in support of a neoliberal financialization of nature, anthropocentric political economy, and endorsement of geoengineering as the preferredbut likely disastrousmethod of approaching climate change. To democratize decisions about the world's near future, we urgently need to subject the Anthropocene thesis to critical scrutiny and develop creative alternatives in the present.
