This monumental volume, drawn from a 2020 exhibition at the ZKM Center for Art and Media, portrays the disorientation of life in a world facing climate change. It traces this disorientation to the disconnection between two different definitions of the land on which modern humans live: the sovereign nation from which they derive their rights, and another one, hidden, from which they gain their wealth{\textemdash}the land they live on, and the land they live from. Charting the land they will inhabit, they find not a globe, not the iconic {\textquotedblleft}blue marble,{\textquotedblright} but a series of critical zones{\textemdash}patchy, heterogenous, discontinuous.

With short texts, longer essays, and more than 500 illustrations, the contributors explore the new landscape on which it may be possible for humans to land{\textemdash}what it means to be {\textquotedblleft}on Earth,{\textquotedblright} whether the critical zone, the Gaia, or the terrestrial. They consider geopolitical conflicts and tools redesigned for the new {\textquotedblleft}geopolitics of life forms.{\textquotedblright} The {\textquotedblleft}thought exhibition{\textquotedblright} described in this book opens a fictional space to explore the new climate regime; the rest of the story is unknown.},
