“A provocative call to craft new forms of life—alterontologies—within and against the biofinancial and technoscientific enclosures of advanced capitalism. Speculative and politically engaged, yet firmly grounded in the dynamic materiality of existing worlds, Experimental Practice introduces us to social science fiction—a mode of research and writing that engages with the forces of matter to imagine new ways of being in common. Dimitris Papadopoulos gives us what we most urgently need: a guide for radical politics in the posthuman age.” — Bruce Braun, coeditor of, Political Matter: Technoscience, Democracy, and Public Life

"In this insightful work of social theory, science studies, feminist theory, and autonomist thought, Dimitris Papadopoulos asks how we might conceive of the work of demanding social and political change, and how we might revamp the concept of ontological politics. This book offers a set of deeply important, thoughtfully posed, and often brilliant interventions. There is both an urgency and a thoughtfulness to Papadopoulos's work that is sorely needed at this moment.” — Cori Hayden, author of, When Nature Goes Public: The Making and Unmaking of Bioprospecting in Mexico
