From the concept of the Anthropocene as post-apocalyptic discourse, to an examination of extinction, and an inquiry into the life\/death continuum, these reflections on individual and collective death demonstrate the importance of 'storying' extinction. The result is the original concept of 'joyful extinction' – a vision of the acceptance of death that, nevertheless, doesn't see the end of the human species just yet. Daigle argues that as instances of life, humans have one last chance to dramatically change their course: only this will allow for futures to unfold, with a reworlding fuelled by hope.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e As well as chapters on entanglement, extinction and the Anthropocene, the book contains a collection of 'meanderings' that take reflections and experiences from the author'ss own life to illustrate the theoretical perspectives discussed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eChristine Daigle\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Philosophy and Interdisciplinary Humanities at Brock University, Canada.
