Speculative Geographies Ethics, Technologies, Aesthetics

“Speculative Geographies is a powerful appeal to new kinds of earth-writing. It is a timely … edited collection exploring the growing influence of speculative theory in geography, as well as the under-acknowledged importance of geography in speculative theory. … the volume is a landmark contribution to this emerging field. … Speculative Geographies will be a key touchstone for contemporary thinking on the philosophies, ethics, and methods of geographical practice.” (Julian Brigstocke, Social & Cultural Geography, June 10, 2024)
