The authors dive into the racialised world-building of shows like \u003ci\u003eStranger Things\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eWatchmen, Lovecraft Country\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSense8\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Twilight Zone\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe O.A.\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e Ad Vitam\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eDEVS\u003c\/i\u003e, and through their groundbreaking media philosophy diagnose and confront the oppressive and racialising nature of streaming media at the end of the world, in the so-called Chthulucene (or 'Chthulustream'). As Brown and Fleming demonstrate, streaming media can, at their best, liberate thought to confront overlapping infinite ontologies (∞O) that themselves offer a timely panacea and corrective to Object-Oriented-Ontology (OOO).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eBrown, William:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - William Brown is a Senior Lecturer in Film at the University of Roehampton, London.
