      Any goodwill I had left after reading Hyperobjects has evaporated in reading Dark Ecology. After pages of theoretical backflips, the author comes to the topics of politics and ethics. Here he proposes his grand solution to ecological crisis: repetitious public art projects.pic.twitter.com/TJUSs62TJb

      Frankly, it brings to mind Walter Benjamin’s admonition of the futurists: this “Dark Ecology” also proclaims “If the world should perish, let art be born.” Rising seas, deserts, and disasters are stripped of any immediacy: they are treated only as objects of aesthetic pleasure.

      A point that perplexes me: What is it with the OOO/SR/ANT crowds that drives them to ecology to look for a kind of secular religion? Hyperobjects and Gaia both recur as numinous figures of devotion and awe. An ecology without nature, perhaps, but not without its gods of nature.

      A final point: for all the talk of the dark and weird, if you look closely there’s not much of either. The weird doesn’t get past cybernetic feedback loops, without taking seriously how this damages any claim agency or autonomy (another example of OOO failing to surpass D&G).pic.twitter.com/nbkE6VmeyD

      If you’re going to coin a term like “dark ecology” you’d better be able to tell a good horror story. The aesthetician would be better suited with Mark Fisher’s weird (& eerie, 2016), and the ecologist with Claire Colebrook’s truly dark take on our dance with extinction (2014).

          After compiling resources for an eco-theory course and being forced to read/watch interminable missives from everyone's favourite 'Prophet of the Anthropocene' last week, I was close to saying something like this, only far less calmly and eloquently than you have. Thank you.

          Thank you! I’ve been trying to balance out my recent accelerationist / tech-positive reading with more eco-theory—but I think this book had the opposite effect.

          Have you ever read Nathan Brown's take on Morton? https://www.parrhesiajournal.org/parrhesia17/parrhesia17_brown.pdf … (warning PDF)

          I’d seen it before, but never got around to reading it in full. Amidst the to and fro of academic trends, these sorts of inflammatory reviews are the real treasures.
