| This novel examines mythology, its effect on ethics, and how that relates to sustainability. It uses a style of Socratic dialogue to deconstruct the notion that humans are the end product, the pinnacle of biological evolution. It posits that human supremacy is a cultural myth and asserts that modern civilization is "enacting" that myth. Winner of the Turner Tomorrow Fellowship Award. |
