Agential realism as a book category collects works—scholarly, speculative, and experimental—that foreground the idea that agency, matter, and meaning are co-constituted through relational "intra-actions" between humans, nonhumans, technologies, and environments. These books mix philosophy, science studies, eco-critique, and inventive narrative form to challenge subject/object binaries: you’ll find theoretical texts unpacking entanglement and performativity, hybrid essays and art-science projects, and fiction that dissolves individual perspective into distributed, material-driven agency. Stylistically they tend to be interdisciplinary and multimodal (nonlinear structures, polyvocal narration, images/diagrams), ethically oriented toward responsibility and relationality, and aimed at readers interested in rethinking causality, embodiment, and the politics of knowledge.
