In Ways of Being, writer and artist James Bridle considers the fascinating, uncanny and multiple ways of existing on earth.

The animals, plants, and natural systems that surround us are slowly revealing their complexity and knowledge - just as the new technologies we've built are threatening to cause their extinction, and ours.

From Greek oracles to octopuses, forests to satellites, Bridle tells a radical new story about ecology, technology and intelligence. We must, they argue, expand our definition of these terms to build a meaningful and free relationship with the non-human, one based on solidarity and cognitive diversity. We have so much to learn, and many worlds to gain.

"Bridle has created a new way of thinking about our world, about being ... read this important book. Read it twice. Talk about it. Tell everyone you know." Washington Post
