From Richard Seymour,one of the UK's leading public intellectuals,comes a characteristic blend of forensic insight and analysis,personal journey,and a vivid respect for the natural world. A planetary fever-dream. An environmental awakening that is also a sleep-walking,unsteadily weaving between history,earth science,psychoanalysis,evolution,biology,art and politics. A search for transcendence,beyond the illusory eternal present. These essays chronicle the kindling of ecological consciousness in a confessed ignoramus. They track the first enchantment of the author,his striving to comprehend the coming catastrophe,and his attempt to formulate a new global sensibility in which we value anew what unconditionally matters.
