Global warming is perhaps the most dramatic example of what Timothy Morton calls "hyperobjects" - entities of such vast temporal and spatial dimensions that they defeat traditional ideas about what a thing is in the first place. In this book, Morton explains what hyperobjects are and their impact on how we think, how we coexist with one another and with nonhumans, and how we experience our politics, ethics, and art.

Utilizando a Darwin y los descubrimientos contemporáneos vinculados a las ciencias biológicas, así como referencias literarias y de la cultura popular, Timothy Morton sostiene en este apasionante, lúcido y sorprendente audiolibro que todas las formas de vida están conectadas en una vasta "malla" que penetra todas las dimensiones de la vida.  

What is it that makes humans human? As science and technology challenge the boundaries between life and nonlife, between organic and inorganic, this ancient question is more timely than ever. Acclaimed object-oriented philosopher Timothy Morton invites us to consider this philosophical issue as eminently political. In our relationship with nonhumans, we decide the fate of our humanity. Becoming human, claims Morton, actually means creating a network of kindness and solidarity with nonhuman beings, in the name of a broader understanding of reality.
