description: From Richard Seymour one of the UKs leading public intellectuals comes a characteristic blend of forensic insight and analysis personal journey and a vivid respect for the natural world. A planetary fever-dream. An environmental awakening that is also a sleep-walking unsteadily weaving between history earth science psychoanalysis evolution biology art and politics. A search for transcendence beyond the illusory eternal present. These essays chronicle the kindling of ecological consciousness in a confessed ignoramus. They track the first enchantment of the author his striving to comprehend the coming catastrophe and his attempt to formulate a new global sensibility in which we value anew what unconditionally matters.
