Summary
In the midst of spiraling ecological devastation, multispecies feminist theorist Donna J. Haraway offers provocative new ways to reconfigure our relations to the earth and all its inhabitants. She eschews referring to our current epoch as the Anthropocene, preferring to conceptualize it as what she calls the Chthulucene, as it more aptly and fully describes our epoch as one in which the human and nonhuman are inextricably linked in tentacular practices. The Chthulucene, Haraway explains, requires sym-poiesis, or making-with, rather than auto-poiesis, or self-making.
Learning to stay with the trouble of living and dying together on a damaged earth will prove more conducive to the kind of thinking that would provide the means to building more livable futures. Theoretically and methodologically driven by the signifier SF - string figures, science fact, science fiction, speculative feminism, speculative fabulation, so far - Staying with the Trouble further cements Haraway's reputation as one of the most daring and original thinkers of our time.

To read and read again
A book for life praxis, written with the passion and desire for a better world.
Feminist accounts to make you think about humanity and all the possibilities to live other-wise.
Brilliant performance. Laural reads this book with fantastic nuance. It’s not an easy book to follow, so her way to read makes you pay attention!

Challenging and fascinating
Haraway presents a thesis to disrupt human-as-the-centre-of-the-world. She brings ideas from biological sciences and challenges readers to look again, anew, at the world and the lens through which we believe we can see the world.
Early chapters repeat ideas and sections of prose in ways that are sometimes distracting. The pace and form, like the rhizome structures described, shoot off in unexpected directions with boundaries only emerging when several threads intersect.
I recommend reading the last chapter first, to frame the rest of the book.

The new zeitgeist
Great work. Self dissolves into the compost sf. Real thinking which think we must.
