The purpose of the book is to use human efforts to control chickens and ourselves in order to reimagine human relationships to nature (non-human animals, humans, environments, and agricultural practice). I identify key historical elements of our technological engagements with chickens to confront the stakes involved in configuring these “protein machines” now and in the future, in order to deepen our understanding of just what the stakes are when we make chickens part of our technological world, where those stakes come from, and what kinds of future we might pursue if we want to mitigate the ecologically unsustainable ways bound together with the modern technological chicken.
