Tongues as long as branches, cockroaches in a ‘hot-history’, the revival of extinct plants, pre-patriarchal paranthropology, thinking with toxic plants in contemporary art, digestive ontologies in a spiral, capitalist bruxism, a business school run by eukaryotes, a society where we pay to eat celebrities, a chumbo, and 800g of bonito tuna fish are some of the matters fermenting in this COMPOST READER.

From Cthulhu Books, we think of the upcoming world as a big Compost. Of composting as a new relational ontology, as our earthly condition. Composting makes us a single planetary material  (humans, being, objects, technologies). It is the past and the future. Its space, place, and it’s matter. It is a world as a whole, in which there are no separate natural and social realms, where there are celebratory rituals, entanglements, and interrelationships. Cultivating awareness from questions more than from answers, from uncertainty and doubt. 

This book talks about beginnings, new relationships, unstable ways of doing, thinking and being, letting questions breed new questions.

With Claudia González, Adrian Schindler and Eulàlia Rovira, Gerard Ortín, Jonathon Keats, Marianne Hoffmeister, Yamil Leonardi, Ricardo Quesada, Sonia Fernández Pan, Azucena Castro, Mónica Mays, Michael Wang and Lucrecia Masson. 

舌头像树枝一样长、“热历史”中的蟑螂、灭绝植物的复兴、前父系准人类学、当代艺术中的有毒植物思维、螺旋式的消化本体论、资本主义的布鲁克斯主义、由真核生物经营的商学院、一个我们花钱吃名人的社会、巨无霸和800克鲣鱼，是这本《COMPOST READER》中正在发酵的一些事项。

从Cthulhu的书中，我们认为即将到来的世界是一个大的复合肥。把堆肥作为一种新的关系本体，作为我们的地球状况。堆肥使我们成为单一的行星材料（人类、存在、物体、技术）。它是过去和未来。它的空间、地点，以及它的物质。它是一个世界的整体，其中没有独立的自然和社会领域，其中有庆祝的仪式、纠缠和相互关系。从问题而不是答案中培养意识，从不确定性和怀疑中培养意识。

这本书谈到了开始、新的关系、不稳定的做事、思考和存在方式，让问题滋生新的问题。
