Inspired by medieval bestiaries and our planet's degradation, A Bestiary of the Anthropocene compiles the hybrid creatures of our era. This field handbook helps us observe and navigate the increasingly artificial world.

From plastiglomerates and surveillance robot dogs to fordite, artificial grass, antenna trees, Sars-CoV-2, decapitated mountains, drone-fighting eagles, and standardized bananas, these specimens highlight the rapid transformation of our “post-natural” world. Often unnoticed, they coexist and proliferate alongside us.

The book captures the moment when the biosphere and technosphere merge into a hybrid entity. It examines the consequences of technologies blending with nature, questioning what defines "natural" in a world increasingly shaped by synthetic and organic matter. What new forms of life mark the dawn of the 21st century?
