A list created to define Hyperobjects here Hyperobjects are... 
"Timothy Morton's Hyperobjects contains a multitude of declarative, metaphorical, and aphoristic descriptions of the titular subject. To get a grip on the concept, I [Nathan Altice] made a mildly pointless tool that scrapes the book for the word 'hyperobject' (and its variations) and compiles them chronologically...There are roughly 450 statements."
