F. Neyrat
The first chapter begins with an overview of political discourses and discussions taking place around geo-constructivist discussions of climate change at the Copenhagen Summit on Climate Change and the potentially disastrous predicaments of those attempting to partake in potential solutions and perhaps actions that can only lead to more disastrous repercussions. Here, Neyrat begins to describe the peculiar situation and the “mirror of the Anthropocene” where mankind and a myriad of actors seemingly positioned to be in opposing camps find themselves embracing geo-constructivist program whereby re-making the Earth will be the task to undertake in an almost arrogant position of mankind at once being aware of its potential hand in the current predicaments of climate change as well as now, still, striving to embolden its position as “steward of the Earth,” willing to take into consideration technological advances that may or may not only worsen the situation with unexpected consequences.

F. Neyrat
Chapter 5 leads Neyrat to explore the concept of resilience the ideas of chaos theory, the concept of turbulence, and how all of these theories found their way into discussions of ecology in the 1970s as part of the realization of a paradigm shift: The world is ontologically and irremediably unstable. With this realization came a new attention to the conception of an ecology of resilience. Neyrat describes the paradoxical point that shows that resilience can be viewed as the ability to adapt to change and, at the same time in order to do this, resilience can also be viewed as how a system remains in a state of perpetually instability. Whereas we would normally think of systems being in stable states, a closer look at thinkers studying theories of resilience in relation to chaos theory demonstrates that a new ecology would be one where there are a myriad of non-linear relations among entities undergoing perpetual change. This mindset is part of what Neyrat calls the ecology of turbulence. Resilience is at once the ability to adapt to change and also to buffer disturbances or turbulence to the system and persist.

In Chapter 8, Neyrat further develops his critique regarding both Latour’s statement that we must “love our technological monsters” and the positions of postenvironmentalism and ecomodernism by questioning how it is that we’ve arrived at these positions: where a “political ecology” can ask us to “love technological monsters” while recognizing their eventual catastrophic consequences; where postenvironmentalists claim that there is no such thing as the environment; where the ecomodernists claim that t we will soon arrive into an era of the “super-Anthropocene” in which nature will no longer exist because there will no longer exist any space that hasn’t been touched by human development; where even Australian coral islands will become industrial products; and where we will be able to “decouple technological advances from environmental impacts.” Neyrat argues that all these seemingly recent ideas concerning nature or post-nature found in the work of the postenvironmentalists or ecomodernists are not that new and can be directly traced back to thinkers such as Marx and Engels where nature is considered as “an illusion, an ideological object.”
