Staying with the Trouble: Making Kin in the Chthulucene is a 2016 book by Donna Haraway, published by Duke University Press. In a thesis statement, Haraway writes: "Staying with the trouble means making oddkin; that is, we require each other in unexpected collaborations and combinations, in hot compost piles. We become - with each other or not at all."{{Cite book |last=Haraway |first=Donna |author-link=Donna Haraway |title=Staying With The Trouble: Making Kin In The Chtulucene |publisher=Duke University Press |year=2016 |isbn=978-0-8223-6224-1 |location=United States of America |pages=4 |language=English}} Both the imagery of the compost pile and the concept of oddkin are repeated motifs throughout the work.

By emphasizing connectedness, Staying with the Trouble can be thought of as a continuation of major themes from "A Cyborg Manifesto" and The Companion Species Manifesto. Haraway's book can also be thought of as a critique of the Anthropocene as a way of making sense of the present, de-emphasizing human exceptionalism in favor of multispecism.{{Cite news|url=http://thechart.me/book-review-donna-haraway-staying-with-the-trouble/|title=Book Review: Donna Haraway’s Staying with the Trouble|date=2017-06-21|work=The Chart|access-date=2018-06-20|language=en-US}}
