"In Hyperobjects, Timothy Morton brings to bear his deep knowledge of a wide array of subjects to propose a new way of looking at our situation, which might allow us to take action toward the future health of the biosphere. Crucially, the relations between Buddhism and science, nature and culture, are examined in the fusion of a single vision. The result is a great work of cognitive mapping, both exciting and useful."-Kim Stanley Robinson, author of Shaman, 2312, and the Mars trilogy "Not only does Morton range from William Wordsworth to the Velvet Underground to Nagasaki to Republican denialism, he does it in a way that marshals these disparate allusions in the service of a cogent idea, one that manages to come off as both intuitive and radical."-Newsweek "[This book] is bold, stimulating, and provocative. With extraordinary verve and audacity, Morton makes his hyperobjects into harbingers for a new epoch, on a planetary scale, a task in which he is assisted by the general consensus about the Anthropocene, the current era of human-induced planetary change."-Los Angeles Review of Books "Whatever your hopes or fears for the next major era in human history, Morton is telling us that it has already happened and it is us."-3 Quarks Daily "A relentless torrent of commentary that presents challenges to most contemporary scholarship on both sides of the still upheld nature/culture divide."-Qui Parle "Morton’s work bridges a gap between academia and the global warming movement with a postmodern angle."-Vogue "Morton is unafraid to mix theory with personal and often confessional material, anchoring his arguments to his own experience of the world."-A Year’s Work in Critical Culture and Theory
