the end of nature

In 1989, Bill McKibben wrote, “ I believe that we are at the end of nature.” Then he clarified: “ By this I do not mean the end of the world. The rain will still fall, and the sun will still shine. When I say ‘ nature,’ I mean a certain set of human ideas about the world and our place in it.” – Jenny Odell Saving Time: Discovering a Life Beyond the Clock (2023)
