Anna Tsing's chapter, "A Threat to Holocene Resurgence Is a Threat to Livability," explores the interconnectedness of human and non-human life in the face of the Anthropocene's challenges. She argues that the Holocene's relatively stable climate allowed for the flourishing of diverse life forms, including humanity's own advancements. However, the current geological epoch, marked by significant human impact on Earth's geology and ecosystems, threatens this resurgence of life. Tsing emphasizes the importance of recognizing and collaborating with non-human agents, highlighting the ways in which multispecies entanglements shape our world. She advocates for a shift away from anthropocentric views of progress and development, urging readers to consider the livability of the planet for all species. The chapter draws on examples of collaborative survival, demonstrating how acknowledging the agency of other species can lead to more sustainable and resilient futures.
