Abstract "It is obscene and paradoxical how human beings can use the power of imagination-often touted as making us special and superior to other animals-in ways that has and continues to produce the legalized institutionalization of death that could in the future ultimately make human beings extinct. Some people have and continue to face immediate existential threats through the prison industrial complex, anti-black police violence, immigrant detention centers, ongoing wars and other forms of state sanctioned violence that target racialized/sexualized people. Nuclear war, pandemics, environmental catastrophe, intelligent racist AI robots, any one or combination of these human inventions could destroy all human life and perhaps all life on earth as we know it"-- Provided by publisher.
