Second Nature: Scenes from a World Remade Rich Nathaniel
From the author of Losing Earth, a beautifully told exploration of our post-natural world that points the way to a new mode of ecological writing.We live at a time in which scientists race to reanimate extinct beasts, our most essential ecosystems require monumental engineering projects to survive, chicken breasts grow in test tubes, and multinational corporations conspire to poison the blood of every living creature. The old distinctions--between natural and artificial, dystopia and utopia, science fiction and science fact--have blurred, losing all meaning. No rock, leaf, or cubic foot of air on Earth has escaped humanity's clumsy signature.
Their stories--obsessive, intimate, We inhabit an uncanny landscape of our own creation.In Second Nature, ordinary people make desperate efforts to preserve their humanity in a world that seems increasingly alien.
