- Summary:
- "Though we try to imagine otherwise, waste is every object, plus time. Whatever else an object may be, it is also waste-or was, or will be. All it takes is time or a change of sentiment or circumstance. Waste is not merely the field of discarded objects, but the name we give to our troubled relationship with the decaying world outside ourselves. 'Waste' focuses on those waste objects that most fundamentally shape our lives and attempts to understand our complicated emotional and intellectual connections to our own refuse: nuclear waste, climate debris, pop culture rubbish, digital detritus, and more"--Jacket.
