Through ethnography of de-agrarianization and extraction in Myanmar, the article shows how threshold subjects - poor laborers uncertain whether they are relatively or absolutely unnecessary to the social system of profits and distribution - become vulnerable to the necroeconomy, a system of value extraction constituted by combining extraction processes that spatially, mechanically, and politically require death-making; willing laborers driven by debt, dispossession, and existential desperation; and biopolitical abandonment (by states or corporations) of subjects to the carnage of extraction. The article considers what politics may be inhabited by the threshold subject, given s/he is both simultaneously surplus and essential to social reproduction
