A collection of essays examining capitalism's toxic creep into the land, our bodies, and our thinking.

What The Reviewers Say

Jessica Ferri,
The Los Angeles Times
The work as a whole finds Shapland determined to reckon with the biggest challenges that face us as a society.
Emma R. Cohen,
The Brooklyn Rail
Although her descriptions of rampant toxicity and environmental degradation raise alarms, she is not primarily concerned with drawing attention to threat.
Noor Qasim,
The New York Times Book Review
Intimate and well-researched.
Stef Rubino,
Autostraddle
A masterful, incisive, and intellectually moving piece of work that I couldn’t stop reading and annotating. When I finished it, I wanted to immediately reread it and make sure I didn’t miss anything..
