This book addresses how people in digital communities during the Anthropocene can become ecologically ready participants who are willing to build a flourishing relationship with the environment through a lens of community and care. The community-care paradigm is theorized as a way of understanding and living in the more-than-human world that is based on a relational ontology, situated knowledges, and ethics of care that takes individuals-in-communities as its basic unit of consideration. The author draws together disparate lines of inquiry—including ancient and contemporary rhetoric, media studies, ethical philosophy, and animal studies—to highlight how the digital discourses occurring in the Anthropocene can help illuminate the partial, processual, active, and rhetorical nature of flourishment of our bodies, our selves, and our environment. Each chapter of the book contributes to theorizing and illuminating how digital rhetorics can provide individuals with ecological readiness, the ability to craft more-than-human worlds of contingent wellbeing, and vulnerable flourishment

Rosenfeld encourages us to hold our own vulnerability in one hand as we hold flourishment in the other during this difficult time of living in the Anthropocene. In a time when we most need affirmative ethics, Rosenfeld offers a tonic for this living, examining digital spaces that give rise to hope by their attention to nonhuman worldbuilding. Through care and attention to nonhumans—trash, plants and meat alternatives, snakes, infrastructures, textiles, and of course, chickens—Rosenfeld attunes her readers to a world in which living well, and being ecologically ready to do so, can only be done in tandem with our more-than-human kin.
