Conscious Oil: myth and mind in the age of petroleum

Conscious Oil: myth and mind in the age of petroleum

writerAnne Rouse

Oil is not represented by the equivalents of naiads or dryads or even King Coal, and yet oil has a personality; it is an agent in human affairs. it has a biography. Conscious Oil re-imagines human history from the point of view of that oil-entity. It explores the intricate connections between history, language and our geosphere.
