As discussions of the development of climate change and new understandings of the term “Anthropocene” are being circulated in the public now more than any other time, creators have been using their fictional spaces to perform thought experiments of moral, scientific, and social approaches to addressing our future. While engaging with aspects of environmentalism in fiction is not new, the conversations are increasing across media spaces.
