The Mushroom at the End of the World: On the Possibility of Life in Capitalist Ruins by Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing

adventurous informative reflective

4.0

this book made me reconsider my place in the ecosystems and environments i'm a part of, tsing really makes you consider how entangled everything is. the way she writes abt pickers and others involved in the matsutake world helped chipped away at the idea of how omnipotent/unbreakable capitalism can feel in my mind, about how people can find/create alternative ways of being that free them from the constraints of capitalism, even if they are at some points still involved in its processes.
