Human civilization stands at an almost unimaginable precipice. The human past, leading up to today, has seen global civilization develop under the favourable conditions of the Holocene since 10000 BC. However, that is changing – we are now in the Anthropocene, what Deleuze/Guattari term as the future rupturing the present, wherein past development is no guide to the future. This book suggests that the Anthropocene should be reanalysed given four dimensions, namely: ‘tool-enhancement’; ‘carbon trail’; ‘the phallocene’; and, ‘atomic-time’. These dimensions map out the unconscious drives that have created the Anthropocene. Adjacent to this mapping, a new mode of education and societal change is suggested. This mode of education and social change tackles key climate indicators and factors, such as degrowth, changing consciousness, a Green Utopia, building a critical model to realign current practices and globalisation. This is the first book to put the philosophy of Deleuze/Guattari to work for the future, and our collective existence on planet Earth.
