Introduction: the medium is the message, revisited: media and Black epistemologies -- Technological darwinism -- Black escapism on the underground (Black) anthropocene -- Toward a theory of intercommunal media -- Black "matter" lives: Michael Brown and digital afterlives -- Conclusion: the reparations of the earth.

"Armond R. Towns demonstrates that humanity in media philosophy has implicitly referred to a social Darwinian understanding of the human as a Western, white, male, and capitalist figure. Building on concepts from Black studies and cultural studies, Towns develops an insightful critique of this dominant conception of the human in media philosophy and introduces a foundation for Black media philosophy"--
