The Break–Down #3
The Break-Down publishes new writing, conversations, and stoires on the cultural intersections of capitalism, nature, and the climate. With urgent imagination, The Break-Down considers what the future might look given what we face today.
In this issue: Airborne
Contributors of issue #3 look to the contradictions of the skies and ask how we might see that air around us more clearly. Air as medium of pollution, occupation, economy of breath, hum of bird wing and radio wave. Highlights include essays on environmental racism or "asthma alley" in the South Bronx, Beirut's struggle for clean energy and air, how big tech builds its own climate future, post computer "complexity" as wisdom or mysticism, and an interview with David Wallace-Wells.
