*Comes with different covers!

In the natural world, nothing goes to waste. Matter constantly decomposes and reconstitutes in new shapes, serving new purposes. We have much to learn from this continuum of transmutation in human societies, where we throw “away” our waste to some invisible hereafter, rather than accept the truth: it remains. Atmos Volume 10: Afterlife dives into the politics of waste colonialism, the artistry of upcycling, cultural understandings of death and the occult, material and spiritual composting, the extinction crisis, and more stories seeking to answer the question: what comes next?
