Here is a hypothesis: even at the dawn of technical civilization, the Anthropocene era makes its appearance. The contemporary idea that human activity affects and shapes the geological makeup and evolution of the Earth is already inherent in the fragments of pre-Socratic cosmologies.

In the theoretical assumptions of Anaximander, the concept of the world as a technical construction is discovered, much like a cylindrical column or a mining furnace. Anaximander in Fukushima is an artistic project and a poetic essay. It narrates practices of wandering, recordings, open readings of pre-Socratic philosophers, and genealogies of territorial findings.

The on-site wandering occasionally becomes a journey into universal geography and a journey through modern history, from the shores of the Mediterranean to the shores of Japan. The failed nuclear reactors of Fukushima are technological transformations of Anaximander's furnace.

The book is primarily aimed at those who wish to grasp through the "topo-moment" the generality, the depth of history, and the extent of "natural cultures." To seize the genealogy of technology as experience and personal memory, amidst the usually boring but sometimes fascinating international discussion about the Earth and the future of its present.
