The Near Future in Twenty-First-Century Fiction

This book shows how novels and films set in the near future can shed light both on our failures of imagination before the challenges of climate change, and possible ways forward in the face of planetary disaster. It will appeal to researchers working in twenty-first century literary studies, climate and literature, and environmental humanities.

Aceasta carte arata cum romanele si filmele care au actiunea plasata in viitorul apropiat pot scoate la iveala atat esecurile noastre de imaginatie in fata provocarilor schimbarilor climatice, cat si posibilele cai de urmat in fata dezastrului planetar. Va fi atractiva pentru cercetatorii care lucreaza in studii literare ale secolului XXI, clima si literatura si stiinte umaniste de mediu.
