    Abstract:
    In this essay, I discuss salient themes of The Child to Come: Life After the Human Catastrophe (University of Minnesota Press, 2016). I hold that The Child To Come’s main thrust is this: ‘The issue is not that there is no future but rather that there is no sure way of orienting toward that future, either to save it or to survive it’. The challenge, then, for those of us (like Sheldon, Preciado and Muñoz) who lust for a world of communism, is ‘to get so close to the face of the child that we can see through it to the sand beneath’; to ‘stay with the trouble’ of that radical uncertainty vis-à-vis the future.
