Thompson brings together a collection of essays on the Gaia hypothesis by such authors as atmospheric scientist James Lovelock, biologist Lynn Margulis, cybernetic biologist Henry Atlan, and others. The suggestion is that for the first time since Newton, we have the chance to create a new ecology of consciousness, the basis for a new political and economic order.
