In the book titled The Mushroom At The End of The World, anthropologist Anna Tsing researches possibilities of survival within the inherited capitalist ruins through the ecology of the Matsutake mushroom. This mushroom is the only known living organism to have survived the aftermath of Hiroshima. Inspired by the unruly nature of this miraculous mushroom, Tsing comes up with the notion of Third Nature; survival, in spite of the failing systems which constantly strive to control world order, in other words, capitalism. There is no single option, but variable futures; a collective entity formed via intersections of open-ended assemblages accompanied by the temporary rhythm of beings, human-nonhuman.
