Altered Earth aims to get the Anthropocene right in three senses.
With essays by leading scientists, it highlights the growing
consensus that our planet entered a dangerous new state in the
mid-twentieth century. Second, it gets the Anthropocene right in
human terms, bringing together a range of leading authors to
explore, in fiction and non-fiction, our deep past, global
conquest, inequality, nuclear disasters, and space travel. Finally,
this landmark collection presents what hope might look like in this
seemingly hopeless situation, proposing new political forms and
mutualistic cities. 'Right' in this book means being as accurate as
possible in describing the physical phenomenon of the Anthropocene;
as balanced as possible in weighing the complex human developments,
some willed and some unintended, that led to this predicament; and
as just as possible in envisioning potential futures.
