This book proposes a model of reading called hyperobject reading
that bridges the Anthropocene scale variance between humans and
humanity by focusing on the large-scale problems and phenomena
themselves. Hyperobject reading draws on narratology and
reader-response theory, as well as newer developments such as the
postcritical turn and object-oriented ontology. The theoretical
introduction sets out the building blocks of hyperobject reading.
Chapter 2 intervenes in critical disability studies and debates
about the ecosomatic paradigm; Chapter 3 intervenes in debates
about technological evolution, analogue vs. digital subjectivity,
and affect theory; and Chapter 4 intervenes in debates about
autofiction, contemporary metafiction, and the position and role of
the narrator in first-person narratives where the narrator and
protagonist can be distinguished. The analytical conclusion
sketches the conceptual anatomy of the hyperobject and three
possible responses. No part of the Earth today is free from human
influence, but literary success suggests effective real-world
strategies.
