It's hard to excerpt from Anna Tsing's book, since its form is as rhizomatic as its subject, but it may help initially to focus on the following sections: “Enabling Entanglements,” “Autumn Aroma,” and Part I: What's Left?; “Working the Edge” from Part II; “The Life of the Forest” from Part III; and “Ordinary Assets” from Part IV. Browse around and see where it takes you, otherwise.
The book served as inspiration for a performance piece, Landscape (1989), by the theatre company Emergency Chorus. They were co-founded at Warwick by a former student of mine, Clara Potter-Sweet, and she's written an account of its making:

The show itself was filmed in 2019 at the Vault, London, and can be seen here:

Given our recurring focus on eco-apocalypse, capitalist nature and human/extra-human relations, it may be useful to come up with some final questions to cap the year this week, using Tsing's text as a departure point.
