In 1874 Sigmund Freud spent two months in a frustrated attempt to locate the reproductive organs of the
European eel. Simultaneously, the industrial revolution was ushering in unprecedented environmental destruction.
Freud’s influence today is pervasive, even as many of his ideas have been discredited. Likewise, industrial expansion continues, despite

more-than-human world.
