This is a series of four investigative feature stories for Bloomberg Green about the rearrangement of matter on the frontline of the anthropocene:

  1. Collapse of wild biological matter along the White Nile as the anthropocene accelerates
  2. Increase in programmed biological matter - humans, livestock, monoculture crops, and invasive species
  3. Increase in inert matter - anthropogenic mass in cement, plastic, metals, and other materials is increasing along the White Nile
  4. Explosion in computational distributed systems - smartphones and other new technologies in even the poorest communities.
