Long abstractOne way to critique the kind of technocratic development sig-nified in the term ‘Anthropocene’, to challenge the problematic anthropocentrism of the concept, and also to maintain a cogent response to the environmental crisis at the same time, is to imag-ine how society could leave a different kind of trace in the fos-sil record. Donna Haraway has called for the Anthropocene, or ‘Capitalocene,’ to be as thin a layer as possible — what stratigra-phers call a “boundary event” rather than an epoch.2 Following her, scholars are trying to theorize what it would mean and what it would take to make a qualitatively different earthen layer.3How to dig ourselves out of this mess? Natasha Myers proposes the idea of the ‘Planthroposcene,’ not as a new epoch per se, but as a new methodology for living with plants.
