Mutant Ecologies by Erica Borg

Mutant Ecologies by Erica Borg

How capitalism is reconfiguring the very texture of life

'Money is making biology mutateCapital nowadays reaches ever deeper into organisms to reformat their genes, metabolisms, and more. This book is a lucid and provocative guide to this brave new world'

-- Stefan Helmreich, Elting E. Morison Professor of Anthropology, Massachusetts Institute of Technology

'An ambitious critique of biopolitical economy. The battle against capital requires a struggle over the means of genomic production, and 'Mutant Ecologies' provides an essential, historically and theoretically rigorous assessment of the terrain'

-- Jesse Goldstein, Associate Professor of Sociology at Virginia Commonwealth University

'An incandescent illumination of capital’s own molecular revolution. With deep research and smart theory, Borg and Policante take us into the planet factory’s latest abodes of production, where genomic tools manufacture life-forms tailor-made for accumulation on a scorching planet; a must-read'

-- Nick Dyer-Witheford, author of ‘Cyber-Marx’ and ‘Cyber-Proletariat’

'A major work, reinventing the critique of political economy in this new conjuncture of capital accumulation’

-- Sandro Mezzadra, Professor of Political Philosophy at the University of Bologna
