The Anthropocene = "A period marked by a regime change in the activity of industrial societies which began at the turn of the nineteenth century and which has caused global disruptions in the Earth System on a scale unprecedented in human history: climate change, biodiversity loss, pollution of the sea, land and air, resources depredation, land cover denudation, radical transformation of the ecumene, among others. These changes command a major realignment of our consciousness and worldviews, and call for different ways to inhabit the Earth."
This video is an illustration of map experiments that demonstrate the Anthtopocene, and it shows several features of our global civilization: cities, built environment, transmission lines, pipelines, main paved and unpaved roads and railways.
This is essentially really intense mapping, but once you've got your head around the rather weighty text introduction (after the link), the true scale and meaning behind it will blow your mind.
