Donna Haraway on the Anthropocene, capital and things yet to come

Every so often wordpress won’t embed certain types of files, so if Kate Raworth’s new video doesn’t appear below, you can view it on her site here.
There are a number of others from the same conference by Tim Jackson, George Monbiot and others that you can watch here.
Hyperobject reviews
I mentioned previously Tim Morton’s book, Hyperobjects (also includes an interview), published by Minnesota Press. Now a few reviews are starting to pop up. Some more positive, like this one in the Glasgow Review. Others much less so, like this one from Ursula Heise in Critical Inquiry.
