All well and good to leap into the future without solid ground, but if the actual material ground of your discourse is literally burning, melting, flooding and exploding - it's hard to sustain the speculative stance. Do ecco politics enter in to the discussion?
Disappointingly little. There’s one reference to “environmental catastrophe” (0x03), but nothing rigorous. Although there are also implicit references to Haraway’s kin-making, which I understand gets expanded upon in Helen Hester’s “Xenofeminism” (2018).

Actually, I don’t want to be unfair: with all the talk of universal & alien kinship, I wouldn’t consider the book anti-ecological. Despite the vertiginous thrill of destruction, this isn’t a rehash of the Futurists — for XF any worthwhile future must be one of common flourishing.
