...I found it useful to look again at Novacene: The Coming Age of Hyperintelligence, which was James Lovelock's last book, published in 2019 when he was 100 years old (he died in 2022), which I read a few months ago in the context of explorations of the Gaia Hypothesis (in a nutshell: "Life and the Earth are an interacting whole and the planet can be seen as a single organism" [pg x]). Lovelock's Novacene is conceived as an Age that succeeds the Anthropocene (which may be thought of as beginning in 1712, with Thomas Newcomen's steam engine, or perhaps in 1945, with the atomic bomb, its effects traced by radionuclides in ice cores and lake cores).The Anthropocene as a historical hyperobject Daniel Rueda in Rethinking History (2022) (pdf)
