Radically interrogating the political epistemology underlying the Anthropocene hypothesis against the backdrop of new regimes of algorithmic classification and prediction, this volume addresses the crucial need to rethink the meaning and inter-relationality of \u201chuman,\u201d \u201cnature,\u201d and \u201ctechnology.\u201d Drawing on feminist science studies, decolonial epistemologies, and historical materialist analysis, the contributors examine how computational frameworks transform Earth&#8217;s complex relationships into extractable data, perpetuating the very logics that created planetary crisis.<br><br>Examining new forms of subjectivity and resistance, this timely volume provides both rigorous critique of technoscientific planetary governance and speculative horizons for collective response to climate breakdown-offering a blueprint for reclaiming abstraction from computational capture while centering radically transformed ways of knowing and being human.<br><br><em>This book is available open access through the Bloomsbury Open Access programme and is available on www.bloomsburycollections.com It is funded by The Austrian Science Fund (FWF).<\/em><br><br><strong>Link<\/strong><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomsburycollections.com\/monograph?docid=b-9781350265011\"><em>https:\/\/www.bloomsburycollections.com\/monograph?docid=b-9781350265011<\/em><\/a><br><br><strong>Antonia Majaca<\/strong> is a Research Fellow in the Department of Philosophy and Cultural Heritage at Ca&#8216; Foscari University of Venice, Italy, where her research within the ERC-funded HealthXCross project examines microbiome technoscience through decolonial feminist and historical materialist analysis.
