The Anthropocene is a common name for a proposed geological epoch dating from the commencement of significant human impact up to present day.

Anthropocene Dream explores our plight as humans from hunter-gatherers through the age of fossil energy dependency, from the decline of suburbia to the ravishing of our shores by tsunamis, and from the devastation of the war machine and the unchecked power of nations. It explores how the natural forces of Earth are much more powerful than the capitalist machine. Hurricanes, tsunamis, thawing ice age tundra and climate change function as humbling indicators of our place in this epoch.
