Summary

"Calling on several discourses related to the Anthropocene, Ira J. Allen defines the "polycrisis" now facing humanity in his search for a means of empowerment amidst unavoidable feelings of dread. The interrelated threats of climate collapse, an artificial intelligence revolution, a sixth mass extinction, a novel chemical crisis, and more are all brought to us by what Allen describes as "CaCaCo," the carbon-capitalism-colonialism assemblage. Underscoring the legitimacy of panic, this book asks what it means to panic productively. The author admits no one script will suffice for everyone, but he outlines several attitudes and practices that have proven to move us through fear to collective action"-- Provided by publisher.
