Hi, DoubleGrazing -- thanks for looking at my article draft. However, I do not agree that the anthroposphere and technosphere are the same thing, they are used differently in the literature, and the technosphere has been more frequently used in recent years - not as a subset or synonym of the anthropocene, but as an independent term. That's why I was surprised to not find the technosphere included in Wikipedia, and why I thought it would be valuable to have a separate page for it. Given that it includes all non-living human constructions on the planet, amounting to more than a trillion tons of material, it's not a minor entity! :)

Does that make sense? Espanocanuck (talk) 13:30, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
