Accelerationism

Is the City of BLAME!--the vast architectural mess the size of the solar system--the urban blight that stretches to the Oort Cloud, mostly devoid of humans, the end point of the Anthropocene, the final extinction event of our geological era that creates a new geologic age fit to totally obliterate all the others? Maybe. There's issues with that term though and with the broader using of geology to narrate history, as Daniel Hartley points out in Salvage Magazine. Drawing on the work of Jason Moore, he suggests that really we occupy the "Capitalocene"--that the current extinction event we face is driven by a particular, historical attitude towards extracted resources, itself driven by a vision of an endlessly growing economy.
