‘Hello human.
I am nature, the protagonist. Listen to me and be patient. Now, you have to learn from me, because when you die, it is just my new beginning.
Be like a plant.
The Anthropocene Epoch is a period of geologic time, used to describe the most recent period in Earth’s history when human activity started to have a significant impact on the planet’s climate and ecosystems. Its in your nature to keep control.
What could a world look like where you are not in control? A time where humans are more passive, and the digital and natural world are the protagonists.’
