A blazing intervention into the Anthropocene's mono-epistemic trap. This electrifying collection dismantles the cybernetic fantasies of planetary control, exposing their roots in capital's real abstractions that reduce life to computable units.

Jason W. Moore, author of Capitalism in the Web of Life (2015)

By unearthing the entangled histories of computation, colonialism, and ecological crisis, this volume opens space for plural, radical imaginaries beyond extractivism. This is a necessary call for action related to ecological and epistemic justice: Decolonise digital futures!

Federico Demaria, co-editor of Degrowth (2014) and Pluriverse (2019) Lecturer in Economics, Universitat de Barcelona, Spain

What is the shape of of the Anthropocene? As authors in this compelling collection argue, it is nothing like a grid, nothing like a material motherboard, but is rather something like shape-shifting incompleteness theorem, with materiality overrunning attempts at full epistemological capture.

Stefan Helmreich, Professor of Cultural Anthopology, MIT, USA

A powerful mix of indignant perspectives unite in a profound critique of the transformation of the world into an abstract machine. There are many gems of undisciplined brilliance.

- Alf Hornborg, author of The Magic Technology: The Machine as a Transformation of Slavery (2022)

A crucial set of essays for further theorization of the colonial Anthropocene as an extractive and digital project that produces epistemological and material violence as planetary. This is a vital intervention towards undoing and unthinking how territory can be sustained, returned and regenerated through technological solutions that only push us deeper into the abyss of capitalism's destructive capacities.
