Abstract

This book on re-imagining sustainability in precarious times is published at a significant time. Precarity flourishes as the uncertainty and unpredictability of the current state of the planet continues to rise. It is the most pressing issue of this generation. Over 50 years ago, Rachel Carson warned us about the dangerous chemicals that were causing harm to all living beings. Asleep at the wheel, while corporations metastasised into behemoths with personhood, we ignored that clarion call. Decades later, with corporate profits often the key focus of government, the wellbeing of the planet still seems to be of little concern to most.
