An illustrated atlas of places of contemporary thought and creation facing the environmental and technological challenges of our era.

A collection of the proceedings of the "Planétarium" lecture series, initiated by the Centre Pompidou in the midst of the Covid crisis, this volume maps out remarkable territories, sentinels of the profound changes caused by global warming, technological change, and political tensions in the world. These lecture-performances, which bring together internationally renowned artists and scholars in the humanities, are transcribed here in all the diversity of their original forms of expression, between texts and images, and sketch out the future of life from outer space to the depths of the Earth.
