Anthropocenic rhetoric calls out “Man” as the agent of his own demise and simultaneously vaults him into position as the only viable saviour of the planet. Anthropocene thinking is so obsessed with Man’s independence that it forgets that there are other forces and powers among us. Plants are the world-makers we need to heed if we hope to grow liveable worlds. And our worlds will only be liveable worlds when people learn how to conspire with the plants.
