Planetary transformations are rendering that which we call the human to be in a state of crisis. Life has been decelerated in many processes of production while accelerated at the same time in the exchange of information and in digital becoming. Many sectors of the economy and former material products are under threat while other sectors that provide services or produce and analyze information are thriving. Many institutions are being destroyed and reconfigured, and others are becoming less place-based, transforming into part of the cloud. Schooling has been moved online and the process of examination has been challenged and even called into question. And while the main molds that seem to enclose lives are homes, the algorithmic processes of a deeply threaded technosocial world seem to more generatively shape becoming. While this all feels new, it has been argued that this is a crisis that has long been in the making.
