“…Critically, ecological science fiction can also enable readers to begin questioning key assumptions, values, and choices inherent in the organization of a society, whether existing or imaginary (Otto, 2012;Pak, 2018;Streeby 2018). This genre can expose choices buried in the theory of sustainability transitions, by creating vantage points outside its elite and technocratic world-making.…”

“…Preparations can, and will, be made. By contrast to these prophecies, many ecological science fiction writers are coming closer to reality (Streeby 2018). They are poking a hole in the fantasy of technological utopianism and encourage us to imagine the actual experiences of climate change in the near term (i.e., within the next 50 to 150 years).…”

“…Working at the intersections of literature studies, cultural sociology, literary geography, utopian studies and science fiction studies, some of these scholars have specifically propounded the potential of fictional imagination -the imagination sparked by encounters with popular culture -as an emotive and imaginative mode of knowing and engaging with climate futures. A particular focus of this scholarship and of our current article is the potential of speculative fiction, and most notably the rapidly proliferating popular culture genre of climate fiction, for prefiguring and configuring people's imaginative, hopeful and activist involvement with conceiving better climate futures (Garforth, 2018;Iossifidis, 2020;Iossifidis & Garforth, 2022;Streeby, 2018).…”

“…Although such fictions depict dystopian future worlds ravaged by biosphere collapse, within their apocalyptic wastelands and ecological ruin they also contain the seeds of utopian imagination needed for envisioning climate futures otherwise and thus for inspiring action to tackle the climate breakdown (Johns-Putra, 2017;Milkoreit, 2016). Climate fiction has the power to spark people's imagination of alternative climate outcomes, enhancing their capacity to conceive of better futures that are not just possible but practicable (Garforth, 2018;Iossifidis & Garforth, 2022;Streeby, 2018). Consistent with the widely acknowledged principles of utopian/ dystopian science fiction to which the genre of cli-fi belongs (Streeby, 2018), climate fiction 'educates the desire' for more just future worlds (Jameson, 2005;Levitas, 1990;Moylan, 2000) and rekindles the 'utopian impulse', which reflects our 'essential need to dream of a better life, even when we are reasonably content' (Sargent, 1994, p. 10).…”
