Plants in Science Fiction: Speculative Vegetation (New Dimensions in Science Fiction)

Plants in Science Fiction: Speculative Vegetation (New Dimensions in Science Fiction)

Katherine E. Bishop
0/5 ( ratings)

Plants have played key roles in science fiction novels, graphic novels, and film. John Wyndham?s triffids, Algernon Blackwood?s willows, and Han Kang?s sprouting woman are just a few examples. Plants surround us, sustain us, pique our imaginations, and inhabit our metaphors ? but in many ways they remain opaque. The scope of their alienation is as broad as their biodiversity. And yet, literary reflections of plant-life are driven, as are many threads of science fictional inquiry, by the concerns of today. Plants in Science Fiction is the first-ever collected volume on plants in science fiction. Its original essays argue that plant-life in SF is transforming our attitudes toward morality, politics, economics, and cultural life at large; questioning and shifting our understandings of institutions, nations, borders, and boundaries; erecting ? and dismantling ? new visions of utopian and dystopian futures.
