Scholte, Tom. “Bruce Clarke, ‘Gaian Systems: Lynn Margulis, Neocybernetics, and the End of the Anthropocene.’” New Books in Systems and Cybernetics, September 17, 2021. Mp3, 01:12:48.
Often seen as an outlier in science, Gaia has run a long and varied course since its formulation in the 1970s by atmospheric chemist James Lovelock and microbiologist Lynn Margulis. Gaian Systems: Lynn Margulis, Neocybernetics, and the End of the Anthropocene (U Minnesota Press, 2020) is a pioneering exploration of the dynamic and complex evolution of Gaia’s many variants, with special attention to Margulis’s foundational role in these developments.
