From O'Neill-Butler's dictation of her interview with Haraway, this book discusses how she coined the term "Cthulucene", which she uses in contrast to Anthropocene and Capitalocene. She also covers her theories of the many "SF" terms: "science fiction and science fantasy … science fact, speculative fabulation, speculative feminism." Finally, it covers her idea of "making kin, not babies," or forming relationships that aren't necessarily through family descent.
