The present ecological mutation has organized the whole political landscape for the last thirty years. This could explain the deadly cocktail of exploding inequalities, massive deregulation, and conversion of the dream of globalization into a nightmare for most people.
What holds these three phenomena together is the conviction, shared by some powerful people, that the ecological threat is real and that the only way for them to survive is to abandon any pretense at sharing a common future with the rest of the world. Hence their flight offshore and their massive investment in climate change denial.
The Left has been slow to turn its attention to this new situation. It is still organized along an axis that goes from investment in local values to the hope of globalization and just at the time when, everywhere, people dissatisfied with the ideal of modernity are turning back to the protection of national or even ethnic borders.
This is why it is urgent to shift sideways and to define politics as what leads toward the Earth and not toward the global or the national. Belonging to a territory is the phenomenon most in need of rethinking and careful redescription; learning new ways to inhabit the Earth is our biggest challenge. Bringing us down to earth is the task of politics today.

全书20章，除了最后一章作为个人思想的总结之外，先后围绕当前欧洲面临三大难题——移民、加剧的不平等以及应对气候变化新机制及其背后的原因展开论述。拉图尔倡导对地球、自然等基本理念的新认识，摆脱以往欧洲中心主义思想以及传统现代性和全球化路径，通过建构“陆地人( Terrestrial) ”的概念，希望借助它来构筑新的集体机制，勾勒新的生存空间。
