“Timothy Morton, with subjectivity goggles on, swims up close to the half-mile-wide eye of the creature that is our current moment. It’s an act of extreme bravery and, though Timothy may never admit it, love.”
—Adam McKay, screenwriter, producer, director
“I have been reading Tim’s books for a while and I like them a lot.”
—Björk
“Timothy Morton is this generation’s philosopher of the climate crisis, and Being Ecological is the century’s most powerful critique of climate change and humanity’s role of thinking our way out of these possible future scenarios in lush prose. A must-read.”
—Paul D. Miller aka DJ Spooky, artist, writer, musician
“Being Ecological is another essential message from one of our most articulate and soulful eco philosophers.”
—Laurie Anderson, artist
“With wit and playful creativity, Being Ecological challenges us to think beyond the conventional and embrace the complexity of our ecological entanglement in a way that matters most: how we think!”
—Susan Kucera, director and filmmaker, Living in the Future’s Past
“A freewheeling, essential guide from one of our foremost ecological philosophers. Very useful for anyone wanting a better understanding of our relationship to the biosphere. Morton points to how we can live a meaningful life in an uncertain modern era.”
—Jeff VanderMeer, author of the Southern Reach trilogy
“If you’re still just grooving along with Alan Watts and thinking that nature is wiggly, think again. Timothy Morton’s flat ontology and leveling of the uncanny valley contradict earlier clichés to open up new possibilities for conceptualizing a better future together. And, to tune a bit to the register of Being Ecological, it’s all accomplished in a vivid discussion with excellent bookfeel.”
—Nick Montfort, Professor of Digital Media, MIT; author of The Future
