Lol. I am just reading a novel set in the future and where our current period is referred as such, because, at the end of this climate crisis and huge extinction event, humans decide to restore the biosphere to its last post-glacial state. The notion that the Anthropocene could end is interesting though, it may be a happy (like in the novel) or a scary end.
- frosted-flakes 6y agoI'm intrigued. What's the book called?
- henearkr 6y agoIt's the Xeelee Sequence, by Stephen Baxter. The focus on the late-Anthropocene "Bottleneck" is in the volume called "Transcendent". The end of the age of farming is located near the 27th century. After they restored the biosphere (or did their best) though, more dire events take place in the Solar System and on Earth (but it's not only the fault of humans, so maybe not technically an Anthropocene again).
