Here is the book, The Ahuman Manifesto: Activism for the End of the Anthropocene. A brief quote from the volume:
The negative value of the end of anthropocentrism is where the jubilance of the world begins. The everything else that comes at the end of these systems is primarily only really the end of the primacy of one isomorphic functioning mode of knowledge. Difference and proliferation which seethes beneath in a germinal state has the capacity to express when the anthropocentric mode is diminished to one of many ways, historical or majoritarian-hysterical.
The Kindle edition sells for US$ 26.95.
