Reviews
I have been reading Timothy Morton's books for a while and I like them a lot. -- Bjork
Considered by many to be among the top philosophers in the world, especially among those tackling issues related to human effects on our environment, Morton herein provides an important, spirited, and sometimes frenetic analysis of the foundational assumptions of Marxism and other -isms with regard to nature and culture. -- Jeff Vandermeer, author of The Southern Reach trilogy * The Millions *
[Morton is] a Ralph Waldo Emerson for the Anthropocene. -- Alex Blasdel * Guardian *
A very good introduction to what Theory (capital T) might have to say about climate change and species die-off. -- Ted Hamlton * Los Angeles Review of Books *
To read [Timothy Morton] is to be caught up in a brilliant display of intellectual pyrotechnics. -- P D Smith * Guardian *
