"If there is a book which can mobilize us for the urgent ecological engagement, it is <i>Land Sickness</i>. It combines in a unique way the aesthetic pleasure of casual reading with the deepest existential engagement."<br /><b>Slavoj Zizek</b><br /><br />"This book is perhaps the first of a long series: a <i>Bildungsroman</i>, except that it is not about a self that adjusts to the social world, but about a self that no longer knows what to do with a natural world that exhausts it. Hence the hybrid genre of affects and theories."<br /><b>Bruno Latour </b><br /><br />"How to recover the self in and after the Anthropocene – this remarkable little book will work like an inspiring manual for those contemplating that task."<br /><b>Dipesh Chakrabarty</b><br /><br />"Nikolaj Schultz has given us a movingly rendered meditation on the moral dead ends we encounter as we attempt to navigate our way through the disorienting world of the Anthropocene. A unique and often tormented blend of personal struggle and ecological commentary that leaves the reader in a state of beautiful dread."<br /><b>Clive Hamilton<br /><br /></b>“In beautiful prose that makes everyday moments seem profound, Schultz describes his life as a series of climate-related decisions… an ecological essay that raises important questions about what it means to live in a time of growing catastrophe.”<br /><b>Foreword Reviews</b> (starred review)<br /><br />“Nikolaj Schultz’s <i>Land Sickness</i><b> </b>chronicles his semi-fictionalised travelogue of his experience of climate change. He brilliantly meditates on the inescapability of the Anthropocene, the intimacy of the experience of climate breakdown, and planetary interconnection. <i>Land Sickness</i> is an urgent book about the many facets of our understanding of and interaction with our environment. As the late Bruno Latour told me: It is important to read Nikolaj Schultz.”<br /><b>Hans Ulrich Obrist<br /><br /></b>"Nikolaj Schultz is the coming star of sociology"<b><br /><i>Die Zeit</i></b>
