Hyperobjects: Philosophy and Ecology After the End of the World by Timothy Morton
4.0
Repetitive but wholly enjoyable. Some quotes I love:
“I think that this music could liquefy my internal organs, make my ears bleed (this has actually occurred), send me into seizures. Perhaps it could kill me. To be killed by intensed beauty, what a Keatsian way to die.”
“Am I a nihilistic postmodernist or a New Ager in academic drag?”
“'Objects in mirror are closer than they appear.' The mirror itself has become part of my flesh. Or rather, I have become part of the mirror’s flesh, reflecting hyperobjects everywhere."
“In trying to cancel itself out, the replicator becomes beautifully defended against its environment. Our existence is due to more than a little bit of death, the headlong rush toward equilibrium.”
