==Definition & Description==
 
Chthulucene is a neologism created by Donna Haraway and critiques the term Anthropocene to describe the Earth's current age. For Haraway, the Anthropocene does not provide the necessary narrative to break out of thought patterns and actions that are destructive to all living things. It only emphasises the supremacy of humans, their individualism and self-invented exceptionalism
