Naturebot: Unconventional Visions of Nature presents a
humanities-oriented addition to the literature on biomimetics and
bioinspiration, an interdisciplinary field which investigates what
it means to mimic nature with technology. This technology mirrors
the biodiversity of nature and it is precisely this creation of
technological metaphors for the intricate workings of the natural
world that is the real subject of Naturebot. Over the course of the
book, Barilla applies the narrative conventions of the nature
writing genre to this unconventional vision of nature, contrasting
the traditional tropes and questions of natural history with an
expanding menagerie of creatures that defy conventional categories
of natural and artificial. In keeping with its nature writing
approach, the book takes us to where we can encounter these
creatures, examining the technological models and the biotic
specimens that inspired them. In doing so, it contemplates the
future of the human relationship to the environment, and the future
of nature writing in the 21st century. This book will be of great
interest to students and scholars of biomimetics, environmental
literary studies/ecocriticism, and the environmental humanities.
