On Pruned, Buttology is “a fantasy table of contents for… a fantazine for the spatial study of waste”, with links to a wide array of pieces ranging from a history of the deficiencies of Montreal’s wastewater treatment infrastructure and disagreements between cosmonauts and astronauts about who can use which nation’s astro-toilets to the role of the depletion of a tiny Pacific island’s deposits of bird shit in crippling the post-Soviet Russian economy and UrbanLab’s “proposal for an alternative wastewater treatment system for Chicago”. You’ll find the full fantasty contents for Buttology 1 here and Buttology 2 there.
