Nikolaj Schultz

b. 1990, is a sociologist. He is a research fellow at the University of Copenhagen. With the late Bruno Latour, he is the author of On the Emergence of an Ecological Class (Polity Books, 2022). Recently published: Land Sickness (Polity Books, 2023).

Brilliant meditations about the connectivity of the planet, the inescapability of the Anthropocene and direct experiences of the collapse of the climate. Bruno Latour advised me: it is important to read Nikolaj Schultz. He was right.

You can read Land Sickness as a sad book, but I find it radically hopeful. Here, in the darkness, in our own personal darkness and also in the pain of the world, we become honest. Here, the myths fly open and everything that’s finely polished. And it’s only from here, from the genuine darkness, that it can become brighter. What a promise!
