Back in a new compact edition, this field guide to our new world of hybrid specimens--gorgeously printed in silver ink on black paper--catalogs the conflation of the technosphere and the biosphere

Plastiglomerates, surveillance robot dogs, fordite, artificial grass, antenna trees, Covid, decapitated mountains, drone-fighting eagles, standardized bananas: all of these specimens--some more familiar than others--are examples of the hybridity that shapes the current landscapes of science, technology and everyday life. Inspired by medieval bestiaries and the increasingly visible effects of climate change on the planet, French researcher Nicolas Nova and art collective DISNOVATION.ORG provide an ethnographic guide to the post-natural era in which we live, highlighting the amalgamations of nature and artifice that already coexist in the 21st century.
