Richard Powers: "We're completely alienated from everything else alive"

I think humanism is the cause of most of the problems of the communities of this planet (including human communities), so I'm happy to see a small intellectual trend turning against it. The latest is this from novelist Richard Powers.

"Environmentalism' is still under the umbrella of a kind of humanism: we say we should manage our resources better. What I was taking seriously for the first time in this book was: they’re not our resources; and we won’t be well until we realise that."
