This article interrogates the uses and abuses of Franz Kafka's enigmatic figure Odradek as an illustration for three recent approaches in the environmental humanities: Timothy Morton's notion of the hyperobject, Jane Bennett's vital materialism, and J. Hillis Miller's theory of the ecotechnological. Putting pressure on the consonances and dissonances between these concepts will reveal an implicit attempt to make of Odradek an idiom capable of conceptualizing the forces of a climate change exceeding current modes of thought
