The Sixth Sun

From Hesiod to the yugas, from the flood myth to the five Aztec Suns, peoples have sensed that time has a shape: fullness, saturation, rupture, renewal. This book follows that same pattern across scales, the cycle of stars, of supercontinents, of mass extinctions, of life's lineages, of civilizations, of globalization, toward a common form. The sixth Sun is not a prophecy: it is the question of what our planetary integration, pushed to saturation, will become.
