In this book, Ian Bogost explores how all things—from atoms to green chiles, cotton to computers—interact with, perceive, and experience one another. He develops an object-oriented ontology that puts things at the center of being—a philosophy in which humans are elements but not the sole or even primary elements of philosophical interest. Bogost encourages professional thinkers to become makers as well, engineers who construct things as much as they think and write about them.
