Viac o knihe
Exploring the pervasive presence of plastic in our environment, Heather Davis delves into its implications on geology, media, biology, and race. She argues that plastic epitomizes a Western view of matter as malleable and disposable, reflecting humanity's desire for control over nature. By examining the interactions between humans and plastic-eating bacteria, as well as the racialized environmental impacts of plastic production, Davis encourages a critical reevaluation of our connections to materiality and the broader implications of plastic's dominance in modern life.
