Summary/Abstract: The Anthropocene, a new geological era – this is a proposition which in recent years has been increasingly discussed in the scientific world, among scholars of culture, as well. McKenzie Warka’s books "Molecular Red" and "Minimal Ethics for the Anthropocene" analyse the new situation in which humanity finds itself in the early twenty-first century, and proposes we start searching for new theories, practices and ethics that would be adequate for the Anthropocene era. These books also show how the Anthropocene is a cultural text, and its impact on literature, film and the visual arts. It raises the all important question of how new theories, ethics, and, above all, politics of the Anthropocene can become a force for real potential change.
