The Anthropocene is defined by the inextricable entanglement of human social and planetary change. The Enlightenment’s model of an understandable, predictable, and manageable space cannot aid us in navigating the realities of a world that is increasingly incomprehensible, unpredictable, unmanageable, and governed by evolving social forces and natures beyond human control.
Welcome to the Anthropocene Entanglement!
