Dissecting the new theoretical buzzword of the Anthropocene The Earth has entered a new epoch: the Anthropocene. What we are facing is not only an environmental crisis but a geological revolution of human origin. In two centuries our planet has tipped into a state unknown for millions of years. How did we get to this point? Refuting the convenient view of a human species that upset the Earth system unaware of what it was doing this book proposes the first critical history of the Anthropocene shaking up many accepted ideas: about our supposedly recent environmental awareness about previous challenges to industrialism about the manufacture of ignorance and consumerism about so-called energy transitions as well as about the role of the military in environmental destruction. In a dialogue between science and history The Shock of the Anthropocene dissects a new theoretical buzzword and explores paths for living and acting politically in this rapidly developing geological epoch.
