Gender and Environment in Science Fiction focuses on the variety of
ways that gender and "nature" interact in science fiction films and
fictions, exploring questions of different realities and posing new
ones. Science fiction asks questions to propose other ways of
living; it asks what if, and that question is the basis for
alternative narratives of ourselves and the world we are a part of.
What if humans could terraform planets? What if we could create
human-nonhuman hybrids? What if artificial intelligence gains
consciousness? What if we could realize kinship with other species
through heightened empathy or traumatic experiences? What if we
imagine a world without oil? The texts analyzed in this book ask
these questions and others, exploring how humans and nonhumans are
connected; how nonhuman biologies can offer diverse ways to think
about human sex, gender, and sexual orientation; and how
interpretive strategies can subvert the messages of older films and
written texts.
