Abstract
Our gleaming smart-cities and devices mask the abject horrors that take place to conceive it: the scarification of Gaia led by rapid deterritorialising fluxes of capital and the relentless extraction of minerals and metals to feed our voracious consumerist appetites. With an increasing urgency to find man’s place in an increasingly automated world, and nature being cast aside as a benign entity that should be preserved out of goodwill, can new paradigms be formed that redefine the trinity of man, nature, and machine?
