"The climate catastrophe is here: with that knowledge confirmed, the next major question is about how humans should respond. . .  . Novel Ecologies [is] a kind of allegory for the way Carruth understands the relationship between humans and their environments. The book is not arguing for a mode of progress or growth; it is not building toward a solution to climate catastrophe. Instead, Carruth lets readers pause and think through their assumptions about their own relationship with technology and their surrounding environments, building toward 'the slow, collective, revolutionary work of repair.'"
