To address the crises of the Anthropocene, Andrew Pickering proposes a new way of being and doing that he calls acting with the world, in which we foreground nonhuman and more-than-human agency and attune our practices to those that align with the world’s best interests.

Andrew Pickering is Professor Emeritus of Sociology and Philosophy at Exeter University, author of The Mangle of Practice: Time, Agency, and Science and The Cybernetic Brain: Sketches of Another Future, and coeditor of The Mangle in Practice: Science, Society, and Becoming, also published by Duke University Press.
