The Ends of the American World
Research, writings and talks on the mythologies, technologies, frontiers, and fractures of the American age.
Arctic Astropolitics. As American power moves from Capitol Hill to corporate California, my research follows in its trails, linking West Coast wildfires, and the American experience of planetary boundaries, to the cosmic ambitions of Silicon Valley. With its ice, its minerals, and its ideal access to the skies, Greenland, the Arctic, and the indigenous cultures of the High North, sit right at the heart of a new race for space.
Writings
Three decades of books, articles, longreads, essays, op-eds, reviews and reports.
On the air
Podcasts on technology, democracy and ecology in the American age.
Talks
I speak at everything from universities, embassies, ministries, military academies, or private companies, to art museums, film festivals, planetariums, and public libraries.
