Abstract

"Speculative Geographies: Ethics, Technologies, Aesthetics" edited by Nina Williams and Thomas Keating is a comprehensive exploration of the intersection between speculative theory and geography. The book delves into the pluralization of experience and the empirical, focusing on themes of ethics, technologies, and aesthetics. With contributions from various scholars, the volume offers a fresh perspective on how speculative thinking can challenge existing norms and generate new forms of existence. The text draws on contemporary philosophical figures like Deleuze and Haraway, but lacks discussion on older traditions of speculation, suggesting a potential area for future research in the field of speculative geography.
