TY - JOUR PY - 2017// TI - Sleepwalking through the Anthropocene JO - British journal of sociology A1 - Sklair, Leslie SP - 775 EP - 784 VL - 68 IS - 4 N2 - This article reviews seven recent books on the Anthropocene, from which three major narratives are extracted. First, while posing problems, the Anthropocene is seen as a ?great opportunity? for business, science and technology; second, it is recognised that the planet and humanity itself are in danger, but if we are clever enough we can save ourselves and the planet with technological fixes; third, we are in great danger, humanity cannot go on living and consuming as we do now, we must change our ways of life radically ? by ending capitalism and creating new types of societies.
