How can we survive in an age of constant environmental crises? How can we thrive? \u003ci\u003eThe Anthropocene Cookbook\u003c\/i\u003e answers these questions by presenting a series of investigative art and design projects that explore how art, food, and creative thinking can prepare us for future catastrophes. This cookbook of ideas rethinks our eating habits and traditions, challenges our food taboos, and proposes new recipes for humanity's survival. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThese more than sixty projects propose new ways to think and make food, offering tools for creative action rather than traditional recipes. They imagine modifying the human body to digest cellulose, turning plastic into food, tasting smog, extracting spices and medicines from sewage, and growing meat in the lab. They investigate provocative possibilities: What if we made cheese using human bacteria, enabled human photosynthesis through symbiosis with algae, and brought back extinct species in order to eat them? The projects are diverse in their creative approaches and their agendas--multilayered, multifaceted, hybrid, and cross-pollinated. \u003ci\u003eThe Anthropocene Cookbook\u003c\/i\u003e offers a survival guide for a future gone rogue, a road map to our edible futures.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Zane Cerpina, Stahl Stenslie\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0262047403\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780262047401\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e MIT Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/18\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.76lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.13h x 7.17w x 0.79d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/17\/2022","brand":"Zane Cerpina","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44070628098303,"sku":"9780262047401","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_34d96f70-d97f-4fdc-925a-5ee5ad17066d.jpg?v=1685431426","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-anthropocene-cookbook-zane-cerpina-9780262047401","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
