Having set global warming in irreversible motion, we are facing the possibility of ecological catastrophe. But the environmental emergency is also a crisis for our philosophical habits of thought, confronting us with a problem that seems to defy not only our control but also our understanding. Global warming is perhaps the most dramatic example of what Timothy Morton calls "hyperobjects"--entities of such vast temporal and spatial dimensions that they defeat traditional ideas about what a thing is in the first place. In this book, Morton explains what hyperobjects are and their impact on how we think, how we coexist with one another and with nonhumans, and how we experience our politics, ethics, and art.

Moving fluidly between philosophy, science, literature, visual and conceptual art, and popular culture, the book argues that hyperobjects show that the end of the world has already occurred in the sense that concepts such as world, nature, and even environment are no longer a meaningful horizon against which human events take place. Instead of inhabiting a world, we find ourselves inside a number of hyperobjects, such as climate, nuclear weapons, evolution, or relativity. Such objects put unbearable strains on our normal ways of reasoning.

Insisting that we have to reinvent how we think to even begin to comprehend the world we now live in, Hyperobjects takes the first steps, outlining a genuinely postmodern ecological approach to thought and action.

Kia phone holder, it’s worth it if you go buy some heavy duty tape!
Model: 2014-2018 Forte
If you’re going to buy this phone holder, you better get some Strong tape because when I put it in my car, the tape didn’t stick at all. I bought some clear thicker tape that is used for patching the liner in a pool, it’s waterproof and works in hot or cold temperatures and now the phone holder is in place and will not move and now works beautifully!

Strength
Model: 2019-2024 Forte
It does fit perfectly in my dash. I do wish that there was a was way to tighten the fit to the dash but other than that it does its job of holding my phone.

Only lasted a couple of weeks.
Model: 2014-2018 Forte
Was nice but after the first day, it would start to loosen and my phone would slide down. After a couple of weeks, it fell off from the car completely. It was a birthday gift so pretty disappointed.

Will not stay attached
Model: 2014-2018 Forte
I used rubbing alcohol to help it say attached. Unfortunately would not stay attached so useless. I thought of getting Velcro or some other type of product to secure it, but why should I have to work at getting it to work? I was never able to see how my phone would work as it never stayed attached
