Gabriel Alonso is founder of the Institute of Post-Natural Studies in Madrid. His new book, The Postnatural Condition, is an introduction to this type of thinking.

Alonso: The postnatural is an invitation to make problematic the idea of a static nature separated from the human. The book functions as a “speculative glossary of terms and images, of stories and subjects.” It speaks of the relationship between territory and technology at the moment in which human beings create the atomic bomb and become convinced of its apocalyptic condition.
