A growing awareness of climate change and looming planetary crisis
has put unprecedented pressure on the near future, leading to an
increasing amount of fiction being set there. But what do these
disparate works have in common, other than their temporal setting?
And what can the imagination of the near future tell us about where
we live now? The Near Future in 21st Century Fiction ranges across
novels and films to reveal how our contemporary near future splits
between two divergent paths. One seeks to retreat from climate
change and the disruption it threatens to affluent lifestyles; the
other tries to imagine new forms of community, and radical change,
but struggles to locate a genre adequate to the task. It in this
struggle, however, that we begin to glimpse the outlines of an
emergent near future form: a revolution fit for the Anthropocene.
