On ustopias and finding courage in a hopeless situation

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingBook chapterResearchpeer-review

Science fiction (SF) is not primarily about the future, but about the dreams and nightmares of today. Science fiction frequently highlights ideas, opportunities, conflicts and realities of the time and context in which a particular narrative is conceived. This is our point of departure. Our goal is to examine and discuss what the impact of studying a particular imagined future might have on our understanding of contemporary ethical discussions on climate change and ethics of nature.
