Don't you care about ecology? That's what you think. Don't you read ecology books? This book is for you. This essay is intended to turn ecology upside down and teach us to think about it when nature has disappeared. The current way of understanding it is useless, full of pseudo-data that confuse and installed in the "what will become of us?" At the heart of this ambitious essay is a radical critique of the scientific distance with which we reflect on our surroundings: the world can only be grasped if we experience it. What overwhelms us is not the end of nature but prejudices about the place humans should occupy in the world. Morton torpedoes the waterline of anthropocentric arrogance through memorable analogies between Kant and Star Wars, Blade Runner, lyrics from the Talking Heads or Tibetan Buddhism. It is not about building a more environmentally friendly society, it is about changing the paradigm of our relationship with the world.
