I recently finished At Work in the Ruins by Dougald Hine (co-author of the The Dark Mountain Manifesto). I aim to re-read it after it has sunk in a bit more. The arc of the book reminds me a bit of Bruno Latour’s thinking, in that it seems to make the axis of left/right political debates more two (or three) dimensional. In part, the book reflects on what we can learn from the response to the COVID19 pandemic, when thinking about climate change, and the unsustainable/extractive economies and...| inkdroid
