Fiction and the Sixth Mass Extinction is one of the first works to
focus specifically on fiction's engagements with human driven
extinction. Drawing together a diverse group of scholars and
approaches, this volume pairs established voices in the field with
emerging scholars and traditionally recognized climate fiction
('cli-fi') with texts and media typically not associated with
Anthropocene fictions. The result is a volume that both engages
with and furthers existing work on Anthropocene fiction as well as
laying groundwork for the budding subfield of extinction fiction.
This volume takes up the collective insistence on the centrality of
story to extinction studies. In various and disparate ways, each
chapter engages with the stories we tell about extinction, about
the extinction of animal and plant life, and about the extinction
of human life itself. Answering the call to action of extinction
studies, these chapters explore what kinds of humanity caused this
event and what kinds may live through it; what cultural assumptions
and values led to this event and which ones could lead out of it;
what relationships between human life and this planet allowed the
sixth mass extinction and what alternative relationships could be
possible.
