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

4.0

This book made for fabulously lively and intellectual company in my head. A good companion to Haraway's Staying with the Trouble and Le Guin's essay on the Carrier Bag Theory of Fiction. It uses human-nonhuman relations, specifically that between various communities with the matsutake mushroom, to explore systems (in particular, economic systems).
