A valuable contribution to the ongoing philosophical discourse on posthumanism.--Katri Tanskanen, University of Helsinki ""Nordic Theatre Studies"" The disciplinary breadth of this new collection should be abundantly clear (...) the volume also acts as a useful reader for those looking for an introduction to posthumanist scholarly themes, and challenges even those readers with expertise or experience in one or several of the areas represented to engage with adjacent disciplinary perspectives.--Jacob Thompson-Bell ""Leonardo"" This is an exciting and innovative collection, composed of both well-known and younger scholars, that explores from various perspectives how life in its complexities and differences, lives in the shadow of climate catastrophe. Both illuminating and alarming, this anthology elaborates a number of strategies for living with, and perhaps alleviating, what is to come on global and local levels. An impressive contribution to an increasingly urgent question. -- ""Elizabeth Grosz, Duke University""
