For me, rating and describing this book are both silly endeavors (as Machado De Oliveira might say, I can see my own cuteness and patheticness in any urge to do so), especially given how clearly she explicates how thoroughly modernity's “wording the world” impacts our ontology and epistemology, forestalling our ability to imagine other ways of being, let alone solutions to our current issues. Machado De Oliveira's work is invaluable, necessary (but I think she would be the first to argue also insufficient), and searing. I finished this yesterday, have already re-read some, and am sure I will continue to do so. I would recommend sitting and struggling with this book (while also being bedazzled by it!) for anyone wondering what the future might hold, and what part(s) we may or may not play in that future.
