"Humankind pushes against the tendency to exclude nonhumans (that is, 'the environment' or 'ecological issues') from the thought domains mapped out by the academic New Left since the mid 1960s."
for Morton, "[h]umankind is an ecological being that can be found in the symbiotic real" (3) and he is attempting "to give voice to it in this book"
"I'm going to be the devil again, and insist that Marxism can include nonhumans--must include nonhumans" (5)
