## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ No Trouble to Read
*by J***S on March 14, 2018*

Donna Haraway's work has always fascinated me, and this recent piece on how we can find new ways to encounter and live, grow, and die with other "peoples" (in the broadest sense of the term) is just as vital to my thinking today as Simians, Cyborgs, and Women was at the start of my academic career. Haraway's goal- to find ways of "making oddkin," refusing to take a technological, lazy optimist view of the future nor subscribe to nihilist futilism at what has already occurred, suggests we find ways to reach out in all the myriad creative, intersectional approaches we can muster.The first half of the book is very dense, where Haraway lays out how she intends to connect her SF practices with attention to other "critters" in the world as the Sixth Great Extinction is already steam-rolling species diversity, habitats, and affecting marginalized, indigenous, and impoverished peoples most. Her idea that we need a new term for this epochal shift- rather than Anthropocene or Capitalocene- instead goes back to "chthonic" others- spiders, pigeons, fungi, and other creatures usually relegated to the compost bins of human attention. She turns instead away from post-humanist language to com-positions, staying together with the trouble.I loved the second half of Haraway's book, as the chapters are short, full of loving craft, and bring out her ideas in novel ways that aren't usually seen in academic writing. Her last section about the Camillas is a storytelling encapsulation of the rest of her book. It's a fun read on its own, but you might need the other 7 chapters to understand what she means.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A pooetic guide to finding connection in a time of crisis
*by R***Y on March 26, 2017*

Haraway puts her unique blend of virtuosic wordplay and broad humanistic and scientific understanding into the service of helping us think about the contemporary state of the world in constructive ways. This is about not dismissing climate change and other huge threats because we can do nothing about them, and also not imagining we have the power to "fix" them, but embracing this moment because it is all that we have, and life is worth it. The constant repetitions of certain phrases and images can be irritating, until you see this as a sort of poem or performance piece that is trying to keep you in the present moment while connecting you to ideas, people, places, and especially species you had never felt kinship to before.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ New stories for difficult times
*by T***N on December 17, 2016*

Climate change and the onset of the Anthropocene, or Cthulucene as Haraway prefers to call it, calls for new ways of being and different stories to the ones we've been telling each other. Rather than an individualistic, capital M Man story, we need earthier, more entangled stories that will guide us in tough decisions about who lives and who dies, for whom we are and are not responsible in a finite world. This is a book about avoiding two mental places that are not helpful: denial on one hand or "game over" on the other. Instead, we need to stay with this trouble, and Haraway provides a lively philosophy for doing that.
