Incomputable Earth: Technology and the Anthropocene
Hypothesis challenges the dominant narrative that positions technological solutions as the primary response to ecological
crisis. This open access collection argues that climate breakdown represents an irreducibly incomputable problem that cannot
be resolved through algorithmic optimization or cybernetic planetary management. Radically interrogating the political epistemology
underlying the Anthropocene hypothesis against the backdrop of new regimes of algorithmic classification and prediction, this
volume addresses the crucial need to rethink the meaning and inter-relationality of “human,” “nature,” and “technology.” Drawing
on feminist science studies, decolonial epistemologies, and historical materialist analysis, the contributors examine how
computational frameworks transform Earth’s complex relationships into extractable data, perpetuating the very logics that
created planetary crisis.
Antonia Majaca is a Research Fellow in the Department of Philosophy
and Cultural Heritage at Ca‘ Foscari University of Venice, Italy, where her research within the ERC-funded HealthXCross project
examines microbiome technoscience through decolonial feminist and historical materialist analysis
Monika
Halkort is an assistant professor and head of the School for Transformation at Angewandte in Vienna. Her current
research focuses on political ecologies of transformation, emphasizing the material entanglements of extractivism, circularity
and just transition discourses in post-mining societies.
